Analytics - Managed Dashboards (Grafana) · $112.93/mo (7 GB RAM, 2 vCPU)
OVHcloud's Essential DB1-7 at $112.93/mo is significantly overpriced for a 7GB single-node Grafana instance. Multiple providers offer 4GB managed databases at $37-68/mo with better specs, lower hidden costs, and higher SLAs. Even accounting for the smaller RAM, the price-to-performance gap is substantial.
Cheapest option by far at $37/mo with 4GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 99.99% SLA, and transparent bandwidth overage pricing ($0.01/GB).
Caveat: OpenSearch is a search/analytics engine, not a general-purpose database; verify it meets your Grafana backend requirements.
Postgres Standard at $50/mo with 4GB RAM, 64GB disk, and 99.5% SLA; includes HA and fork/follow features unavailable in Essential tier.
Caveat: Heroku's add-on overage model can force unplanned upgrades; verify your connection/row limits fit within Standard-0 before committing.
Postgres at $55/mo with 4GB RAM, 99.95% SLA, and per-second billing (no waste for short-lived instances).
Caveat: Persistent disk storage ($0.25/GB/mo) and bandwidth overages (~$0.15/GB) are billed separately; storage overage at $0.30/GB/mo can add up quickly.
MySQL at $60/mo with 4GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 80GB disk, and 100% network uptime SLA; straightforward pricing with no Windows surcharge.
Caveat: Bandwidth overage rates vary by data center; MySQL instead of Postgres may require schema migration if you're currently on Postgres.
Postgres at $68.61/mo with 4GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 50GB disk, and industry-leading 99.999% SLA; Simple Backups add-on is transparent.
Caveat: Backup add-ons (10-60% surcharge) and data-transfer overages despite 'free egress' marketing can inflate the true cost.
