Managed Database - MySQL · $1310.93/mo (30 GB RAM, 8 vCPU)
OVHcloud's Business DB1-30 is significantly overpriced for its specs. Multiple providers offer comparable or superior managed databases at 12-19% of the cost, with better transparency and no region-based egress cliffs. Even accounting for hidden costs, alternatives deliver substantially better value.
