What’s new in November? New control plane, CTO Forum & Observability

We’ve made no secret of how important we think it is for Europe to have its own datacenters, so we’re thrilled to announce the opening of our latest datacenter in Warsaw. As the second in the region, it will bring more resiliency to your applications, and it’s a big step toward our goal of creating a multi-AZ region in Eastern Europe.

That’s not the only news we have this month! Keep reading to discover our Kubernetes dedicated control plane, Observability Public Beta, an awesome Raycast extension created by one of our community members, and a revival of the CTO Forum.

Scaleway extension on Raycast

New resources🎥

How to connect a Serverless Function to Object Storage
Because Serverless functions are stateless, you will likely need to connect to services such as Object Storage or Databases to store your data. This example shows how to connect to Scaleway’s Object Storage using the AWS SDK and Python or Node.

Unlock the Potential of Serverless with Scaleway

To celebrate one year of Serverless with Scaleway, we recorded this webinar with startup Inheaden to dig into our current ecosystem and what we’re planning for the future. Plus, Inheaden presents two use cases explaining how they leverage Serverless to scale efficiently and easily.

That wraps up our news from November! As always, if you are missing a feature to get your project rolling, let us know through a feature request! But before you do that, check out our beta programs–we just might be building what you are looking for.
