Managed Database for PostgreSQL and MySQL · $80/mo (8 GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 20 GB SSD)
Scaleway's DB-PRO2-XXS at $80/mo is significantly overpriced for a non-HA single-node database. Multiple providers offer 4GB RAM / 2 vCPU managed databases at $37-$68/mo with better or equivalent specs, and several include higher SLAs (99.95%-99.999% vs implicit lower availability on the Scaleway tier).
Less than half the price with 4GB RAM, 2 vCPU, and a published 99.99% SLA; bandwidth overages are the only hidden cost and are transparent.
Caveat: This is OpenSearch (Elasticsearch-compatible), not PostgreSQL/MySQL, so only viable if your workload can switch database engines.
37% cheaper with 4GB RAM, 64GB disk, and higher reliability (99.5% SLA on Essential, higher on Standard); includes 120 max connections and fork/follow on Standard tier.
Caveat: Heroku Postgres Advanced pricing is not published and requires sales contact; Essential tier has a reliability cliff (99.5% vs Standard's unpublished but higher SLA) and no HA or fork/follow.
31% cheaper with 4GB RAM, 1 vCPU, and 99.95% SLA; persistent disk and bandwidth overages are clearly itemized.
Caveat: Only 1 vCPU vs Scaleway's 2 vCPU; storage overages billed at ~$0.30/GB/month and disk storage at $0.25/GB/month, so total cost can creep up if you exceed included storage.
25% cheaper with matching 4GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 80GB disk, and a strong 100% network uptime SLA; no published hidden costs beyond bandwidth overages.
Caveat: Bandwidth overage rates vary by data center location and are not pre-disclosed; MySQL only, not PostgreSQL.
14% cheaper with 4GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 50GB disk, and an exceptional 99.999% SLA (5 nines); Simple Backups add-on is optional and clearly priced.
Caveat: Smaller disk (50GB vs 20GB on Scaleway, but still adequate for most workloads); backup add-ons range from +10% to +60% of monthly price depending on retention policy.
