Analytics - Managed Dashboards (Grafana) · $55.77/mo (4 GB RAM, 2 vCPU)
OVHcloud's Essential DB1-4 at $55.77/mo is significantly overpriced for a managed Grafana dashboard tier. Multiple providers offer comparable or superior managed database specs at 20-65% lower cost, with better SLAs and fewer hidden egress penalties.
Cheapest option at $11/mo for 2GB RAM / 1 vCPU; suitable for development/prototyping dashboards with 99.9% SLA.
Caveat: No HA available and explicitly marked development-only; egress beyond 75GB/mo costs EUR 0.01/GB.
| Provider | Plan | Price | Specs | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Scaleway | Managed Database for PostgreSQL and MySQL · DB-DEV-S | $11/mo | 2 GB RAM, 1 vCPU, 10 GB SSD | Visit |
| Microsoft Azure | Azure Database for PostgreSQL Flexible Server · Burstable B1ms | $12.41/mo | 2 GB RAM, 1 vCPU | Visit |
| DigitalOcean | Managed Databases · OpenSearch Basic 2GB |
Only $12.41/mo for 2GB RAM / 1 vCPU with 99.99% SLA; storage and backup billed separately but still far cheaper overall.
Caveat: Burstable tier has no reserved-instance discounts; outbound bandwidth charged above 100GB/month pooled free tier.
Straightforward $19.6/mo for 2GB RAM / 1 vCPU with 99.99% SLA and minimal hidden costs.
Caveat: OpenSearch is a search/analytics engine, not a general database; bandwidth overages at $0.01/GB.
Includes 80GB disk and 100GB monthly transfer for $30/mo with 99.9% SLA; simpler pricing than core AWS.
Caveat: Data transfer overage rates vary by region ($0.09-$0.132/GB); Windows bundles cost 70-90% more.
Closest spec match at $50/mo with 4GB RAM, 64GB disk, and higher reliability than Essential tier.
Caveat: Essential tier has only 99.5% SLA and no HA; add-on overages can force unplanned tier upgrades; Advanced tier pricing requires sales contact.
