Is OVHcloud's Business DB1-4 the best deal?

Managed Database - Valkey (Redis-compatible) · $128.48/mo (4 GB RAM, 2 vCPU)

Best in class

OVHcloud's Business DB1-4 Valkey plan at $128.48/mo is a strong offering for in-memory, high-availability workloads with 4GB RAM and 2 nodes. While cheaper single-node alternatives exist (Scaleway at $11/mo, Azure at $12.41/mo), they are fundamentally different products: development-only, 1/4 the RAM, no HA, and often different database engines (PostgreSQL/MySQL vs Valkey). Direct Valkey/Redis competitors like Render ($135/mo for 5GB) and Heroku ($750/mo for 7GB) are either more expensive or vastly overpriced, making OVHcloud's per-node hourly billing ($0.088/hr) and dual-node redundancy genuinely competitive for production in-memory caching.

Before you switch

Verify IPv4 address billing impact in your deployment region before committing
Confirm APAC outbound traffic egress costs post-2026 if you operate in India, Singapore, or Australia
Compare total cost of ownership including backup/snapshot storage if you plan frequent snapshots
Check whether 2-node HA is necessary for your use case; single-node alternatives are 50-70% cheaper but lack redundancy
