There are a lot of European “cloud” providers, but there’s not one that offers anything even close to AWS/GCP/Cloudflare. If you need more than compute and S3, you’re pretty much SOL.

If you need much more than compute, managed k8s and blob storage, then you're architecting yourself for a vendor lock-in.

Absolutely not. There's a gazillion cloud providers out there with hosted postgres+kafka+redis and the other big open source softwares. Hetzner is just not one of them.

Welcome to the real world. I’m not saying this is a good thing, but this is what’s happened. That’s why everyone is doing AWS. To pretend this is a non-issue and can easily be fixed by investing a bit in development does not reflect reality.

OVH? Upcloud? Scaleway?

(searching more I found Koyeb, bunny cdn offers deno similar to cloudflare workers)

None of these remotely come close to their US counterparts. Not by a long shot.

But would you need those functions to run your ERP and CRM systems (see the article)?

[AndroTux]

Yes. At an airbus scale, most definitely.

But to give you another example (from the article): Try migrating Google Workspace to an EU solution. Actually impossible. I tried it myself, and gave up. The closest you’ll get is Proton, which isn’t EU to begin with and doesn’t even have half of the features Google Workspace offers.
