Managed Database - Valkey (Redis-compatible) · $112.93/mo (7 GB RAM, 2 vCPU)
OVHcloud's Essential DB1-7 is significantly overpriced for an in-memory Valkey (Redis) instance. Multiple providers offer comparable or superior Redis/in-memory database tiers at 40-60% lower cost, with better SLAs and fewer hidden gotchas.
5GB Redis-compatible instance with 99.95% SLA, only $22 more than OVHcloud but includes 5GB vs 7GB RAM and published bandwidth overage rates.
Caveat: Bandwidth overages billed at ~$0.15/GB; instances billed by the second so partial-month charges apply if scaled down.
Exact 7GB Redis match with 10,000 max connections and higher reliability than Essential tier, but premium pricing reflects enterprise-grade features.
Caveat: At $750/mo this is 6.6x the OVHcloud price; only justified if you need Heroku ecosystem lock-in or premium SLA guarantees not published separately.
Cheapest option at $37/mo with 99.99% SLA, though it is OpenSearch (search engine) not Redis; useful if your workload is search-compatible.
Caveat: Different product category (OpenSearch vs Redis); bandwidth overages at $0.01/GB; only 4GB RAM vs 7GB on OVHcloud.
47% cheaper at $60/mo with 100% network uptime SLA and 80GB disk; MySQL is not Redis but offers persistent storage OVHcloud lacks.
Caveat: MySQL, not Redis; bandwidth overage rates vary by data center; Windows license surcharge not included in base price.
47% savings with 99.999% SLA (highest available), 50GB persistent storage, and transparent pricing; MySQL not Redis but far more reliable.
Caveat: MySQL, not Redis; backups add 10-60% surcharge depending on frequency; data transfer beyond Fair Policy can incur overages despite free-egress marketing.
