# PaaS in the EU - Finding Quality European PaaS Providers
It would be so interesting to find out about good European PaaS providers. I skimmed a few options but didn't even bother to try one.
The summary from the options covered [Clever Cloud, Scaleway, Stackhero,
Platform.sh, Gcore] was that all of those are quite limited, mostly container-based (or similar stack where some other code is just run in base PaaS containers provided by them). In the situation where certain companies are doing their business with US IT companies' breakfast cereals, it might be a great idea to improve the European PaaS platform.
My requirements for the PaaS were extraordinarily low: just "serverless" Python with managed SQL (or similar) database, meaning multiple indexes allowing at least finding documents without implementing soft indexing over pure key-value storage and ACID storage + blob (and/or) file storage, whichever provides reliable persistence for key (seekable / streamable) value blobs.
On this kind of stack, I can basically build most of the stuff I'm doing, so it really doesn't matter what the tech "under the hood" is, as long as it's reliable and reasonably priced.
Global CDN and a few locations globally would be preferred but not mandatory, like Europe, USA, Singapore, maybe India/Arabia region, and that's pretty much it. Yet that CDN part can of course be added from providers like Bunny CDN, Gcore, or BlazingCDN.
