Analytics - ClickHouse · $4546/mo (256 GB RAM, 64 vCPU)
OVHcloud's Discovery-B3-256 is significantly overpriced for a single-node ClickHouse instance. Multiple managed database alternatives offer comparable or superior specs at 43-57% lower cost, though none are exact ClickHouse matches—you'll need to evaluate whether PostgreSQL, Valkey, or Heroku Postgres meet your analytical workload requirements.
Cheapest option at less than 40% of OVHcloud's price with 99.99% SLA and transparent bandwidth overage pricing ($0.01/GB).
Caveat: Half the RAM (128GB vs 256GB) and half the vCPU (32 vs 64), so workload fit depends on your query patterns and concurrency needs.

42% cheaper than OVHcloud with 50 dedicated vCPU, 2.56TB NVMe storage, and 99.99% SLA; better I/O than OVHcloud's limited storage tier.
Caveat: Price is estimated from linear node pricing and not directly confirmed; also 128GB RAM vs 256GB, and HA clusters cost 2-3x more if you need redundancy.
Matches OVHcloud's 256GB RAM at 43% lower cost with 100% network uptime SLA and no region lock-in.
Caveat: Only 32 vCPU vs 64, and Valkey is an in-memory cache (not an OLAP database like ClickHouse), so unsuitable unless you're replacing a cache layer rather than analytics.
23% cheaper than OVHcloud with 244GB RAM, 2TB disk, and published SLA; managed PostgreSQL is simpler than self-hosted ClickHouse.
Caveat: Still a managed Postgres, not ClickHouse; add-on overages can force unplanned upgrades; Advanced tier pricing requires sales contact and may be higher.
