Managed Databases · $1920/mo (96 GB RAM, 24 vCPU)
Vultr's Valkey plan is significantly overpriced for managed database workloads. Multiple providers offer 64GB/16vCPU configurations at 40-70% lower cost, though none match the 24vCPU/96GB specs exactly. If you can work within 64GB RAM, substantial savings are available; if you need the full 96GB/24vCPU tier, Vultr has limited direct competition.
Cheapest comparable managed database option with 64GB RAM, 16vCPU, published 99.99% SLA, and straightforward bandwidth overage pricing at $0.01/GB.
Caveat: Specs are 33% smaller on RAM and vCPU; suitable only if your workload fits within 64GB.
Akamai-backed managed database with 64GB/16vCPU, 99.99% SLA, and 1280GB SSD storage; bandwidth overages at $0.005/GB for compute.
Caveat: Price is ESTIMATED from linear node pricing and not directly confirmed; HA clusters cost 2-3x more; backups are a separate add-on (20-25% surcharge).
Enterprise-grade PostgreSQL with 64GB/16vCPU, 1.28-6.4TB storage, 99.99% SLA, and 4 Gbps public/private bandwidth.
Caveat: Still 30% cheaper but only 67% of Vultr's RAM/vCPU; IPv4 addresses billed separately; APAC regions lose free egress after mid-2026.
MySQL alternative with identical specs to PostgreSQL option: 64GB/16vCPU, 1.28-6.4TB storage, 99.99% SLA.
Caveat: Same caveats as PostgreSQL variant; choose based on database engine preference, not price.
Closest Valkey/Redis-compatible match with 60GB RAM, 16vCPU, 2-node HA cluster, and 99.99% SLA.
Caveat: Only 62.5% of Vultr's RAM and still 12% cheaper; in-memory only (no persistence); IPv4 and APAC egress charges apply.
