Managed Database for PostgreSQL and MySQL · $11/mo (2 GB RAM, 1 vCPU, 10 GB SSD)
Scaleway DB-DEV-S is competitively priced for development workloads, but Azure's Burstable tier offers nearly identical specs at $12.41/mo with higher SLA (99.99% vs none stated), and DigitalOcean provides a cleaner, simpler alternative at $15/mo with transparent pricing. For production use, the lack of HA on Scaleway is a significant limitation that pushes you toward managed options with built-in redundancy.
Matches Scaleway's 2GB RAM and 1 vCPU specs, includes 99.99% SLA, and storage/backup costs are transparent and typically modest for dev workloads.
Caveat: Outbound bandwidth billed above 100 GB/month; storage and backup charges add ~$0.115/GB/mo on top of base price.
Simple, transparent pricing with 99.99% SLA; bandwidth overages are predictable at $0.01/GB, and no surprise licensing or restoration fees.
Caveat: Only 1GB RAM vs Scaleway's 2GB, so not a direct spec match; better for smaller dev projects.
Flat $15/mo with 25GB disk (vs Scaleway's 10GB), 100% network uptime SLA, and no HA requirement for dev use.
Caveat: Only 1GB RAM vs Scaleway's 2GB; bandwidth overage rates vary by data center and are not clearly published.
Confirmed pricing, 99.99% SLA, 25GB SSD storage, and straightforward bandwidth overage at $0.005/GB after pooled allowance.
Caveat: Only 1GB RAM vs Scaleway's 2GB; HA replica and backups are paid add-ons that can push total cost significantly higher.
