Comment on Cloud of Disillusion: The Broken Promise of PaaSparent

Comments

I’ve been hesitant to try them because some of their pricing pages look like this: https://cloud.ionos.com/managed/dbaas/postgresql#pricing

What’s wrong with the page?

Anyhow it’s the VPS I was talking about. The whole point of the VPS versus cloud thing is….. just run it yourself in a Linux server. Whatever you need, run it yourself.

If you want to know the monthly price of this managed database, you have to first punch this into a calculator:

($0.072 * $number_of_cores + $0.0084 * $ram_in_gb + $0.08 * $storage_in_gb + $0.008 * $potential_backup_storage_in_gb) * 24 * 30

Not my idea of a good pricing page.

Edit: VPS pricing looks much clearer.

VPS is like $50/month unlimited gigabit traffic.

Run Postgres on that.
