Managed Database - MySQL · $255.72/mo (15 GB RAM, 4 vCPU)
OVHcloud's Essential DB1-15 at $255.72/mo is significantly overpriced for a managed MySQL database. Multiple providers offer comparable or superior specs (8GB RAM, 2-4 vCPU, managed MySQL/PostgreSQL) at less than half the cost, with transparent pricing and no region-based egress cliffs.
MySQL/PostgreSQL managed database at $80/mo with 8GB RAM and 2 vCPU, includes 20GB SSD storage, and transparent egress pricing (75GB free, then EUR 0.01/GB).
Caveat: Non-HA (single node); if you need high availability, cost will increase significantly.
| Provider | Plan | Price | Specs | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DigitalOcean | Managed Databases · OpenSearch Basic 8GB | $76.25/mo | 8 GB RAM, 4 vCPU | Visit |
| Scaleway | Managed Database for PostgreSQL and MySQL · DB-PRO2-XXS (non-HA) | $80/mo | 8 GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 20 GB SSD | Visit |
| Microsoft Azure | Azure Database for PostgreSQL Flexible Server · General Purpose D2s |
Lowest sticker price at $76.25/mo for 8GB RAM and 4 vCPU with 99.99% SLA, though product is OpenSearch rather than MySQL.
Caveat: Product type mismatch (OpenSearch vs MySQL); bandwidth overages at $0.01/GB apply if you exceed pooled allowance.
PostgreSQL managed database at $100/mo with 8GB RAM and 2 vCPU, includes 99.95% SLA and straightforward per-second billing.
Caveat: Storage and bandwidth overages billed separately ($0.30/GB storage overage, ~$0.15/GB bandwidth); persistent disk storage not included in base price.
MySQL managed database at $115/mo with 8GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 240GB disk, and 200GB monthly transfer included; 99.9% SLA.
Caveat: Data transfer overage rates vary by region ($0.09-$0.132/GB); regional pricing variation requires verification.
MySQL at $120/mo with 8GB RAM and 4 vCPU (matching OVHcloud's core specs), 160GB disk, and 100% network uptime SLA.
Caveat: Bandwidth overage rates vary by data center; Windows licensing not included if needed.
