Managed Databases · $5850/mo (192 GB RAM, 24 vCPU)
Vultr's Valkey plan is significantly overpriced compared to comparable managed database offerings. DigitalOcean, Linode, and OVHcloud all deliver similar or better specs at 22-74% lower cost, with transparent pricing and strong SLAs. Unless you require Vultr's specific data-center footprint or feature set, switching will yield substantial savings.
Lowest absolute cost with published 99.99% SLA, transparent $0.01/GB bandwidth overage, and same Valkey engine as Vultr.
Caveat: 128GB RAM and 16 vCPU are lower than Vultr's 192GB/24vCPU; suitable if workload fits the smaller footprint.
20 vCPU and 96GB RAM at 74% discount; 99.99% SLA and $0.005/GB outbound bandwidth after allowance.
Caveat: Price is ESTIMATED from linear node pricing, not directly confirmed; HA clusters cost 2-3x more; backups are a separate add-on (20-25% of monthly price).
2-node Valkey cluster with 120GB RAM and 32 vCPU at 43% savings; 99.99% SLA and 8 Gbps private/public bandwidth.
Caveat: Region-locked to Milan/Paris; IPv4 addresses billed separately; APAC outbound traffic loses free-egress status after mid-2026.
Single-node 128GB/32vCPU at 54% discount with 2.56-12.8TB storage and 99.99% SLA; good if PostgreSQL is acceptable.
Caveat: Region-locked to Milan/Paris; IPv4 addresses billed separately; different database engine than Valkey.
Single-node 128GB/32vCPU at 54% discount with 2.56-12.8TB storage and 99.99% SLA; alternative if MySQL is acceptable.
Caveat: Region-locked to Milan/Paris; IPv4 addresses billed separately; different database engine than Valkey.
