Managed Database for PostgreSQL and MySQL · $158/mo (16 GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 50 GB SSD)
Scaleway's DB-PRO2-XS is priced at a premium for its specs. Several providers offer comparable or better CPU/RAM at significantly lower cost, though you'll need to verify database engine compatibility and regional availability for your use case.
Half the price of Scaleway with matching 8GB RAM and 4 vCPU, though storage is smaller (8GB vs 50GB) and engine is OpenSearch not PostgreSQL/MySQL.
Caveat: Engine mismatch if you need PostgreSQL or MySQL; verify OpenSearch meets your application requirements.
