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, higher SLAs, and lower hidden-cost exposure. You're paying a 18-116% premium for less capability.
Cheapest option with 4GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 99.99% SLA, and transparent bandwidth overage pricing at $0.01/GB.
Caveat: OpenSearch (search/analytics) is not a direct PostgreSQL/MySQL replacement; verify your workload fits the product type.
4GB RAM, 64GB disk, 120 max connections, and published 99.5% SLA with clear upgrade path to higher tiers.
Caveat: Essential tier has a reliability cliff (99.5% vs higher SLAs on Standard+); Advanced tier pricing requires sales contact; add-on overages can force unplanned upgrades.
4GB RAM, 99.95% SLA, and straightforward per-second billing with no surprise tier locks.
Caveat: Only 1 vCPU (vs Scaleway's 2); persistent disk storage, bandwidth overage, and storage overage all billed separately at $0.25-$0.30/GB/month.
4GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 80GB disk, and 100% network uptime SLA with no HA complexity.
Caveat: Bandwidth overage rate varies by data center; Windows license cost not included in base price.
4GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 120GB disk, 100GB transfer included, and 99.9% SLA with data encryption.
Caveat: Data transfer overage is region-dependent ($0.09-$0.132/GB); Windows bundles cost 70-90% more than Linux equivalents.
