Is Fly.io's Performance the best deal?

Identical 32GB/8vCPU single-node PostgreSQL with 640GB-3.2TB usable storage, 99.99% SLA, and no region-based price premiums; scales to 3-node HA at predictable per-node cost.

Caveat: APAC regions lose free egress after mid-2026; IPv4 addresses billed separately; requires verification of storage allocation vs. Fly's separate storage billing model.

32GB/8vCPU standalone with 640GB SSD, 99.99% SLA; estimated pricing from linear node pattern suggests strong value, and HA 3-node clusters would still undercut Fly at roughly 1.4-1.6x base price.

Caveat: Price is ESTIMATED from node pricing pattern, not directly confirmed; backups are a separate add-on (~20-25% of instance cost); HA clusters cost 2-3x single-node, so verify final HA cost before committing.

32GB/8vCPU with 960GB disk, 400GB monthly transfer included, data encryption, and 99.9% SLA; transparent pricing with no region-based machine premiums.

Caveat: Data transfer overage rates vary sharply by AWS region (0.09-0.132/GB); lower SLA (99.9% vs. Fly's implied 99.99%); verify egress costs if you exceed 400GB/month.

32GB/4vCPU at less than one-sixth Fly's price with 100% network uptime SLA; Valkey (Redis-compatible) is not PostgreSQL but offers extreme cost savings if your workload permits.

Caveat: Only 4 vCPU vs. Fly's 8; Valkey is in-memory only, not a relational database; bandwidth overage rates vary by data center; not a true PostgreSQL alternative unless workload can shift.

32GB/4vCPU at lowest sticker price with 99.99% SLA and minimal hidden costs (bandwidth overage only at 0.01/GB past pooled allowance).

Caveat: OpenSearch is a search/analytics engine, not PostgreSQL; only 4 vCPU vs. Fly's 8; only suitable if you are migrating from Elasticsearch or need full-text search, not OLTP.
