| The standard Storage Class claims to be sufficient to serve as CDN for your (streaming)content | CDN integration | There are documentation pages to set up Fastly and BunnyCDN, and Filebase has their own ‘Edge Caching Technology’ |
| Scaleway has a large number of peering interfaces in Amsterdam, and is otherwise connected very well in Warsaw and Paris | Peering & interconnect | Since Filebase is utilizing decentralized storage, there should be a semi-global distributed network to support the network. Performance is, due to this reason, questionable at best |

Scaleway, mostly known for its performance cloud computing brand, launched their Object Storage product some time in 2020. Although quite late, in comparison to other Cloud Compute platforms, they used their to time to release a quality product. Another cool feature is that Scaleway has full GDPR compatibility with their DCs in Paris, Amsterdam and Warsaw.
Their list of customers includes Adobe, Dailymotion, and Malwarebytes.
Filebase is one of the next generation cloud storage providers. Offering a layer of storage management on decentralized solutions to make the transition from web2 to web3 feel like a breeze.
Filebase leverages the power of Blockchain to ensure global storage redundancy by utilising a couple of decentralized solutions like Storj. Unique to this approach is the aggregation model, which, even in regular storage land isn’t used as much as you’d like to see. Bundling services like this means you’ll move slower in terms of feature parity since you can only offer functionality offered by all underlying providers.
Filebase offers an afforable, flat-based price for egress as well as stored bytes.
With their S3 compatible API, Filebase’s solution looks like a great alternative to Openstack, if you’re not worried about performance or uptime SLA’s.
