Managed Databases · $431/mo (32 GB RAM, 4 vCPU)
DigitalOcean's $431/mo plan is significantly overpriced for the specs. Multiple providers offer 16GB RAM / 4 vCPU PostgreSQL at $158-$338/mo, and even 32GB options exist cheaper. Unless you specifically need DigitalOcean's ecosystem or the extra 16GB RAM is critical, switching saves $200-$270/month.
Half the price of DigitalOcean with identical 4 vCPU and 16GB RAM; includes 50GB SSD storage vs DigitalOcean's unspecified allocation.
Caveat: Only 16GB RAM vs your 32GB; egress charges at EUR 0.01/GB after 75GB free tier; confirm storage scaling limits for your workload.

If you need 32GB RAM to match DigitalOcean, Fly.io offers HA, backups, and connection pooling included; storage billed separately at $0.28/GB.
Caveat: More expensive overall; regional pricing premiums apply; extra RAM beyond preset allocation costs ~$5/GB/month; no published platform SLA.
