Azure Database for PostgreSQL Flexible Server · $12.41/mo (2 GB RAM, 1 vCPU)
Azure's B1ms at $12.41/mo is competitively priced for 2GB RAM, but Scaleway undercuts it at $11/mo with identical specs and included storage. However, Scaleway's dev-only tier lacks HA and production SLA guarantees, making it suitable only for non-critical workloads. For production use, Azure remains a solid choice, though Linode and DigitalOcean offer better value if you can tolerate 1GB RAM.
Lowest price with matching 2GB RAM and 1 vCPU, plus 10GB SSD storage included (Azure charges ~$1.15/mo extra for 10GB).
Caveat: Development/prototyping only with no HA; no production SLA; unsuitable for mission-critical applications.
Only $3.59 more than Azure with 25GB SSD (vs Azure's 2GB base), 99.99% SLA, and transparent $0.005/GB overage bandwidth pricing.
Caveat: 1GB RAM vs Azure's 2GB; standalone (no HA replica); backups and HA are paid add-ons that can double the cost.
Flat $15/mo with 10GB disk, 99.99% SLA, and simple $0.01/GB bandwidth overage (lower than Azure's tiered rates).
Caveat: Valkey (Redis-compatible) not PostgreSQL; 1GB RAM vs Azure's 2GB; product mismatch if you need relational database.
Same $15/mo price as DigitalOcean with 40GB disk and 100GB monthly transfer included; no data encryption is a trade-off.
Caveat: 1GB RAM vs Azure's 2GB; no encryption at rest; bandwidth overage up to $0.132/GB in some regions (higher than Azure).
