Best European alternatives to AWS Lambda in 2026

Scaleway Functions is the closest European alternative to AWS Lambda: same pay-per-use model, with a free tier of the same size. Eurobase Functions suits TypeScript functions that belong to a web app, at a flat €10 or €20 a month. Scaleway Serverless Containers suits functions in any language, or anything too large for a function. This list covers the options we checked.

What to check before you move

• Your triggers. Lambda is often started by S3, SQS or EventBridge. Each trigger needs a replacement.
• Your permissions. IAM roles don't carry over.
• Your packaging. Layers and custom runtimes need rebuilding.
• Cold starts. Measure them on the new platform with your own code.

1. Scaleway Functions

Scaleway Functions bills for resources used and requests, like Lambda. It is the natural choice if the rest of your stack moves to Scaleway.

• Best for: event-driven functions in a European cloud.
• What it lacks: the range of AWS triggers and integrations.

2. Eurobase Functions

Write TypeScript functions in the browser or publish them from a coding agent. Each one has its own URL, public or private, with invocations and logs in the same project.

• Best for: the backend pieces of a web app hosted on Eurobase.
• Price: Free includes 250,000 requests and 10,000 GB-s a month. Starter at €10 includes 1 million requests and 50,000 GB-s, and Pro at €20 includes 2 million requests and 100,000 GB-s, + VAT.
• What it lacks: languages other than TypeScript, and event triggers from other services.

3. Scaleway Serverless Containers

Run anything in a container, in Paris, Amsterdam, Warsaw or Milan, scaling from zero to 200 instances, with cron and HTTP triggers.

• Best for: workloads in any language, or too large for a function.
• What it lacks: the simplicity of deploying only a handler.

Is Lambda in an EU region enough?

It depends on what you were asked for. An EU region keeps the function running in Europe. AWS is still a US company, which matters if a contract requires an EU provider. See EU region vs EU company.

Frequently asked questions

What is the European equivalent of AWS Lambda?

Scaleway Functions is the closest equivalent, with pay-per-use billing and a monthly free tier.

Are there serverless functions that keep data in the EU?

Yes. Scaleway Functions run in its European regions, and Eurobase Functions run on European infrastructure.

Can I run Python functions in Europe without AWS?

Yes, on Scaleway Functions or in a container on Scaleway Serverless Containers. Eurobase Functions are TypeScript only, though Eurobase can run a Python server as a container.
