Is OVHcloud's Discovery-B3-128 the best deal?

Managed Database - MySQL · $2703.19/mo (128 GB RAM, 32 vCPU)

Better deals exist

OVHcloud's Discovery-B3-128 is significantly overpriced compared to smaller-spec managed databases from DigitalOcean, Linode, and Vultr that cost 65-71% less. However, the OVHcloud plan offers 2x the RAM and vCPU; if you genuinely need 128GB/32vCPU, there are no direct cheaper equivalents, but you should verify whether a smaller tier meets your actual workload.

Managed Databases PostgreSQL Basic Premium AMD 64GB

$782.2/mosave 71%

Lowest absolute cost at 64GB RAM / 16 vCPU with 99.99% SLA and transparent bandwidth overage pricing ($0.01/GB).

Caveat: Half the RAM and vCPU of OVHcloud plan; PostgreSQL not MySQL; suitable only if workload fits smaller specs.

Managed Databases Shared 64 GB - Standalone

$950/mosave 65%

64GB RAM / 16 vCPU at $950/mo with 99.99% SLA and 1280GB SSD storage; MySQL-compatible.

Caveat: ESTIMATED pricing not directly confirmed; backups are a separate add-on (20-25% surcharge); HA clusters cost 2-3x more; outbound bandwidth overages at $0.005-0.015/GB.

Managed Databases MySQL CC-Reg 16vCPU/64GB

$960/mosave 64%

64GB RAM / 16 vCPU MySQL at $960/mo with 100% network uptime SLA and 1280GB disk.

Caveat: Half the specs of OVHcloud; bandwidth overage rates vary by data center; Windows license cost not included (though not relevant for MySQL).

Heroku Postgres Standard-6

$2000/mosave 26%

122GB RAM with 1.5TB storage and higher reliability than Essential tier; closer spec match to OVHcloud's 128GB.

Caveat: PostgreSQL not MySQL; 26% savings is modest; Essential tier has only 99.5% SLA and no HA; add-on overages can force unplanned upgrades; Advanced tier pricing requires sales contact.

Before you switch

OVHcloud's APAC outbound traffic loses free-egress status after mid-2026; verify your region and egress volume to quantify future cost impact.
DigitalOcean, Linode, and Vultr alternatives are 64GB not 128GB; confirm your actual peak RAM and connection requirements before downgrading.
Linode's 64GB Managed Database price is ESTIMATED from linear pricing, not confirmed; request a quote to verify.
Linode and Vultr charge for bandwidth overages; model your egress traffic to compare total cost of ownership against OVHcloud's included 8 Gbps.
Heroku Postgres Standard-6 is PostgreSQL, not MySQL; migration effort and application compatibility must be evaluated.
OVHcloud charges IPv4 addresses separately per instance; verify whether this is already included in the $2703.19 quote.
