Is OVHcloud's Discovery DB2-FREE the best deal?

Managed Database - MongoDB · $0/mo (512 MB RAM, 0 vCPU)

Best in class

OVHcloud's Discovery DB2-FREE MongoDB tier is genuinely free with no hidden charges for the database service itself, making it unbeatable on price. The alternatives listed are either different database types (Redis, Postgres) or paid tiers starting at $6-120/mo, none of which offer a free managed MongoDB option at comparable specs.

Before you switch

Verify that one free service per project limit aligns with your deployment model; you cannot run multiple free MongoDB instances in the same OVHcloud project
Confirm France (Gravelines) region meets your latency and data residency requirements; no other region option for the free tier
Watch for IPv4 address charges if you need static IPs or multiple instances; these are billed separately and not included in the free tier
After 2026, APAC outbound traffic loses free-egress status on some products; review OVHcloud's roadmap for any changes to free tier egress policies
The 512MB RAM and 500MB storage are tight limits; plan for upgrade costs if your workload grows beyond the free tier thresholds
