Managed Postgres · $1922/mo (64 GB RAM, 8 vCPU)
Fly.io's Performance Postgres at $1922/mo is significantly overpriced for the specs. Multiple providers offer comparable or superior managed Postgres with 32GB RAM and 8 vCPU for $480-$676/mo, roughly 65-75% cheaper. The Fly.io plan's main advantage is HA and connection pooling included, but even accounting for hidden costs, alternatives deliver better value.
8 vCPU, 32GB RAM, 640GB SSD at $480/mo is 75% cheaper than Fly.io; includes backups and 99.99% SLA.
Caveat: Price is ESTIMATED from linear node pricing, not directly confirmed; HA (3-node) would cost 2-3x more; bandwidth overages at $0.005-0.015/GB apply.
| Provider | Plan | Price | Specs | |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| Vultr | Managed Databases · Valkey Mem-Opt 4vCPU/32GB (0 rep) | $325/mo | 32 GB RAM, 4 vCPU | Visit |
| Linode (Akamai) | Managed Databases · Shared 32 GB - Standalone |
8 vCPU, 32GB RAM, 960GB disk, 400GB transfer included at $490/mo; data encrypted and 99.9% SLA.
Caveat: Data transfer overage rates vary by region ($0.09-0.132/GB); lower SLA than Fly.io's HA offering.
Native PostgreSQL, 8 vCPU, 32GB RAM, 640GB-3.2TB usable storage at $676/mo; 99.99% SLA and 2 Gbps public / 4 Gbps private bandwidth.
Caveat: Single node (no HA); IPv4 addresses billed separately; APAC outbound egress loses free status after mid-2026.
61GB RAM, 1TB storage, 500 max connections, HA included at $1400/mo; closest feature parity to Fly.io Performance tier.
Caveat: Still $522/mo more expensive than Fly.io; Advanced tier pricing not published; add-on overages can force unplanned upgrades.
