> Everything they offer is storage, VPS, Load balancer, one managed key-value store and two managed databases. For the price a little higher than, say, Digital Ocean. But where is managed cache, message broker, e-mail service. It is not enough to be European, they need to offer something competitive

And don't forget managed Kubernetes. You can get pretty far with the services they provide and the Kubernetes ecosystem.

For a more complete offering, check out Scaleway - French, regions in a couple of locations, and a wide array of services, up to e-mail service, message broker, quantum computers, AI inference.

Scaleway is indeed the closest thing we have to AWS, Google Cloud and Azure by a European company. They are fast building out a comprehensive managed cloud with IAM, managed databases, containers, etc. I do hope they succeed. I've only used them for hobby projects, so my experience is limited to lighter workloads. But the UI is pretty good, and they have APIs and CLI for all operations.
