Moving Towards the European Cloud
summary
A small Java Azure Function that checks solar inverters moves to two European clouds: Stackit (via Cloud Foundry) and Scaleway (via Scaleway Functions/container). Migration to Stackit runs in about four hours total (1.5 hours from local to cloud), deploys with CF push and works—emails show green check—but incurs an unexpected €16 invoice because Cloud Foundry isn’t per-execution functions. Migration to Scaleway takes ~13 hours: build multi-arch Docker, push to container registry, add health endpoint and cron trigger; it eventually works but requires many manual steps.
