#2The submission title really should include a dollar to indicate which currency is meant.
Also, for non-corporate customers in Europe, VAT should be added.
The VAT-inclusive price is €3.59 (for 4 ARM cores, 2 GB RAM, 50 GB SSB disk, and one IP with 200 Mbps unmetered bandwidth). This is the VAT-inclusive number from the site, which is using French VAT (20%). Here in Sweden it'd be 25%, it seems. :|

#3I wonder if I could buy a couple of those servers for my own. I work on cloud and data-center automation tools and having real metal to test ideas and software would be amazing. I've been toying with the idea of hooking up a couple Edisons or Galileos (x86 makes everything easier on my side) but they have complete running hardware and that easily beats developing my own.

#4But what about bandwidth? That's still shared among all the users, right?
And given that they are even advertising 'Seedboxes' and VPN servers [0] hosted in the same network, it makes me doubt the quality of network even more.

#5RAM, SSD storage, bandwidth, IO are still shared.
It's pretty much a VPS, not dedicated.

#6Is there any way to test out Scaleway without having to give them a credit card number with a potential infinite bill?

How does the RAM sharing work? Are there any public details on this?

You can try them for a short time for free, but you have to authorize via SMS.

For european union based users without a valid EU VAT number, VAT must be added based on the VAT rate in the users own country, not always french VAT at 20%. Ie we pay 25% here in DK.
This is due to the new rules that went into effect 1 January 2015: http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/taxation/vat/how_vat_wo...

There's also hard limits on the number of servers you can create (~10) until you contact support to get that value lifted so it appears there are caps on what you spend
