I'm Scaleway customer and it's for sure cheaper since it offers dual cores, unmetered bandwidth and more SSD storage for the same 3 EUR/m. But these are ARM or Atom x86 CPUs, both are significantly less efficient[1] than Xeons. It's worth noting that Scaleway has introduced "Workload Intensive" instances with a sweet price point starting from 25 EUR/m for 6-cores Xeon D-1531/15GB RAM/200GB SSD.

Unfortunately all I can do right now is point to the anecdata of others as in the link above and additional pointers within that project[1][2]. If you have time and can share any more details on your experience I would tremendously appreciate it. I am debating starting a Twitch -> YouTube video stream duplicator/archiver that would initially make money by auctioning available capacity with the long-term goal of being aquired by Twitch since their integration is so unreliable.
