I recommend you take a look at bunny.net, an Cloudflare alternative which is European and can support deno workers and so you are much more likely to be able to use it
Regarding Cloudflare r2, there might be many but I like the idea of Upcloud and you can get yourself say a 3.50 euros machine there and (they got unlimited egress! Wish I was sponsored by them lmaoo) and their block storage is around 20 Euros per month for unlimited egress. They provide 1-24 TB per month free unlimited but after that its capped at 100mbps for unlimited amount of time and I don't think that it could be an issue in this case? And you can always get more 3.50 euros servers to get more 100mbps unlimited so the possibilities are endless
OVH provides unlimited egress as well and OVH is another good bet. I love both for unlimited egress if what you are doing is very bandwidth intensive in the first place
Both are European. I have heard good things about scaleway too
Also searched bunny and looks like it provides some storage service too and unlimited egress to bunny cdn from that https://bunny.net/pricing/storage/
Looks neat.
If Dock runs on AWS or Cloudflare infra it is, by definition, a no go for me and many others here. Would like to get an answer on that.
FWIW: I use scaleway far a medium sized project and find it a good experience. Of course there are bugs and some things could be better. But support is good and the responses to bugs in their terraform provider are quick.
Also using bunny.net, happy so far.
Only thing I am missing is to create mailboxes (not transactional mail) on those two providers. I needed a third one for that.
Scaleway doesn't provide unlimited egress the last time I provided beyond 75 gigs if I remember correctly and scaleway feels great in some situations but I wouldn't try to force it in here if the project is bandwidth intensive.
I don't know but Upcloud gained my loyalty when I created my account and I don't have credit card but I could still use their service and go talk to their customer service for the 7 days my trial account is active and their support was so phenomenal and nice and just, man, They aren't kidding when they say that their support can have 1 minute times in things)
I do feel like Scaleway and Upcloud too might charge more than OVH and hetzner but they both have better support and long term its really worth it.
For what its worth, I really like scaleway's stardust servers as I had analyzed some servers in Lowendtalk and other websites etc. which had benchmarks and Scaleway's stardust development servers are one of the cheapest in the market for the development boxes but they are limited to 1/2 per account but I feel like scaleway does this to get people try scaleway in the first place and I do find this really fascinating idea and not many other do it.
EU cloud is definitely under-rated especially for egress related stuff (like this) because AWS,gcloud,Azure from what I hear costs like a bank of money for egress.
I do think that more people should evaluate the right option of cloud for their job using the right "tool" for the right job.
Glad that you liked scaleway tho. I haven't had experience with scaleway tho but I have heard that they have a good slack (ironic isn't it?) server where their devs are active.
Perhaps they will go to dock which might get one day hosted on scaleway, could be really cool :)
