Should I use Adobe Commerce Cloud Frankfurt or OVHcloud / Scaleway?
Depends on your volume + budget + data-residency posture:
- Adobe Commerce Cloud (Frankfurt region), best if you’re already on Adobe Commerce. Auto-scaling, Fastly CDN, 24/7 Adobe support, < 30ms latency to Paris / Lyon. Costs €25k+ /yr, locks you to Adobe. Frankfurt isn’t France, some CNIL-conscious clients prefer FR-based hosting for the optics, even though Frankfurt is GDPR-compliant.
- OVHcloud, French cloud giant (Roubaix / Strasbourg / Gravelines DCs). Strong on price, French support, sovereign-cloud option for public-sector. Less auto-scaling than Adobe Commerce Cloud; more DevOps work.
- Scaleway, younger French cloud (Iliad / Free), good for modern stacks, S3-compatible storage, Kubernetes. Great for Hyvä-headless or PWA setups.
- AWS Paris (eu-west-3), if you want US-grade tooling but FR data residency.
- Hyvä Cloud / Cloudways Paris, managed Magento, €200-800 /mo, good middle ground for €500k, €5M stores.
We benchmark + migrate, the right answer depends on whether you need FR data residency or just FR low-latency.
