Managed Database - MySQL · $249.22/mo (4 GB RAM, 2 vCPU)
OVHcloud's Enterprise DB1-4 at $249.22/mo is a premium, high-availability 3-node MySQL cluster with 4GB RAM and substantial storage. Several single-node alternatives cost 80-90% less, though they sacrifice HA and redundancy; if you need HA, OVHcloud is competitive, but if you can tolerate single-node deployments, much cheaper options exist.
