      After creating an account quickly. I land in a nice console. I am asked to create a "namespace", I guess it's a way to isolate resources. I like the term. It seems like there is only one region to select: 🇫🇷🥖Paris.

    I can then create either a function or a container. Yay! using "serverless" with "container" is not a heresy anymore!

      I create a function. The experience is what I expect from a FaaS product: online code editor, runtime selection, env vars, CPU/Memory. Nice to see min/max instances and public/private. The function always has an HTTP endpoint, but I can also pick a cron trigger.

        I get a HTTP endpoint, no SSL :(, under a default *.functions.fnc.fr-par.scw.cloud domain. I paste it in my browser. Cold start time seems quite long (I counted > 10s). 🎉I see 'Hello World'

          The console gives me logs, metrics, details and a re-deployment form. Nice and clean.

            Alright, time to test a container. It seems I need to pick from my Scaleway registry. The deploy form is very similar to the one for functions, except for the additional 'concurrency' setting. Yay! I like that I can enter a small description in addition to picking a name.

              Got an error at deploy time. I try lowering the max instance setting. A new error tells me the function already exists. I guess because I have a 'function' with the same name as my 'container'. After picking a new name, it works.

                Like for the function, I get a default URL and a clean page to monitor and manage my container.

                  Overall, pretty good user experience. Cold start times seemed a bit high for a hello-world and I wish I had an https endpoint. Pricing is not yet published as the product is in Beta. Nice Scaleway
