Scaleway Managed Database for MySQL
A managed MySQL 8 service from the French cloud provider Scaleway, with high-availability and Multi-AZ read replica options, Block Storage up to 10 TB, private networking, and hourly billing in Paris, Amsterdam, Warsaw, and Milan.
Scaleway’s Managed Database for PostgreSQL and MySQL runs MySQL 8 on dedicated virtual machines — one node per VM — with 1 to 48 vCPUs and 2 to 256 GB of RAM. Instances can be deployed standalone, as a high-availability pair with a hot standby for failover, or with Multi-AZ read replicas to take read traffic off the primary. Block Storage lets the volume grow to 10 TB without downtime or a node change, and instances can be isolated on a Private Network.
Scaleway handles setup, updates, and automated backups and snapshots, which can be stored in a different region from the database. Encryption at rest is available, and the service can be driven from the console, the API, or Scaleway’s Terraform provider. It runs in the Paris, Amsterdam, Warsaw, and Milan regions and is billed hourly with no commitment.
