Managed Databases · $576/mo (32 GB RAM, 8 vCPU, 512 GB)
Vultr's PostgreSQL plan is significantly overpriced for the specs. Multiple providers offer 16GB/4vCPU managed PostgreSQL at $158-$338/mo (73-41% cheaper), though you'll sacrifice CPU cores and storage. If you genuinely need 8vCPU/32GB, the market is thin, but Fly.io's Scale tier at $962/mo includes HA and backups as standard.
