Scaleway is owned by Iliad Group. It's a legit subsidiary of a legit multi billion dollar French telecom corporation.

Edit: Ah, the concern is Cloud Mercato, cited in the benchmark graphs.
The fishy parts are about cloud-mercato
Not scaleway

I'm using scaleway for more than 3 years. Moved to thm all my websites.
there ads for scaleway on the linkedin page on cloud-mercato, "A week ago, Scaleway release the European VM with the lowest price. This week, place to the biggest machine with 448 CPU and 7.6 TB of RAM aka "#baremetall Ultimate Performance"." they only have 1 employee on linkedin, company location paris
the website is owned by a portugese company called balladscale with 2 employees and generates $56,524 in sales (USD).
unless cloud-mercato is just a buggy mess, it feels like its been put up in last minute, there bugs everywhere
after logging in with a computer
they dont even offer a "price score" for hetzner https://imgur.com/a/ymMUTj0
and dont offer a storage performance for scaleway https://imgur.com/a/3qZuxdK
they do offer to a "compute score" comparison with both in it and the hetzner machine is somehow ~3% slower, but that doesnt make up the price difference metrics on scaleway website
