Is OVHcloud's Production B3-32 the best deal?

Managed Database - PostgreSQL · $1537.09/mo (32 GB RAM, 8 vCPU)

Better deals exist

OVHcloud's Production B3-32 is significantly overpriced for a managed PostgreSQL database. Multiple providers offer comparable or superior specs at 10-50% of the cost, with better transparency and fewer hidden gotchas. Even accounting for hidden costs, you can save $800-1200/month by switching.

Managed Postgres Scale

$962/mosave 37%

Matches OVHcloud's 32GB RAM and includes HA, backups, and connection pooling out of the box; storage billed separately but still cheaper overall.

Caveat: Storage costs $0.28/GB monthly (add ~$180 for 640GB), and regional pricing varies; no published platform SLA, though Enterprise plans offer custom SLAs.

Heroku Postgres Standard-4

$750/mosave 51%

30.5GB RAM and 768GB disk at half OVHcloud's price; includes 500 max connections and proven reliability for production workloads.

Caveat: Standard tier SLA not separately published; Essential tier has only 99.5% uptime and no HA (avoid); add-on overages can force unplanned upgrades.

Managed Databases MySQL CC-Reg 6vCPU/16GB

$240/mosave 84%

6 vCPU and 320GB disk at 84% discount; 100% network uptime SLA and straightforward pricing with no surprise egress cliffs.

Caveat: Only 16GB RAM (half of OVHcloud), so suitable only if you can scale down; MySQL not PostgreSQL, though Vultr also offers PostgreSQL variants.

Managed Databases 16GB Standard

$245/mosave 84%

16GB RAM, 480GB disk, 300GB transfer included, and data encrypted at rest; 99.9% SLA and AWS's global infrastructure.

Caveat: Only 16GB RAM (half of OVHcloud); data transfer overage is steep ($0.09-$0.132/GB depending on region) if you exceed 300GB/month.

Managed Databases Shared 16 GB Standalone

$250/mosave 84%

6 vCPU, 16GB RAM, 320GB SSD, and 99.99% SLA; straightforward pricing with no region-based egress cliffs.

Caveat: Only 16GB RAM (half of OVHcloud); HA (3-node) clusters cost 2-3x more; backups are a separate add-on (~$50-60/month); spec is estimated from linear pricing, not directly confirmed.

Before you switch

OVHcloud's APAC outbound traffic loses free egress after mid-2026; verify your region and traffic patterns before committing.
Fly.io storage ($0.28/GB) adds ~$180/month for 640GB; calculate total cost including storage before deciding.
Heroku Standard tier SLA is not published separately; contact support to confirm uptime guarantees match your requirements.
Vultr, AWS Lightsail, and Linode all offer only 16GB RAM in the listed tiers; if you truly need 32GB, Fly.io or Heroku are your only sub-$1000 options.
Linode's HA (3-node) cluster pricing is 2-3x the single-node price; if you need HA, budget $750-1000/month instead of $250.
Verify that your workload can tolerate a database engine switch (MySQL vs PostgreSQL) before migrating from OVHcloud.
