Data last updated: 11/15/2024

The selection of providers in our calculator is a mix of managed and unmanaged ones.

The compute hours lets you estimate what extra instances would cost, in the instance of horizontally scaling.

Some of these providers offer dynamic provisioning and vertical scaling, and others provide dynamic horizontal scaling if you need that.

Database provisioning is a critical foundation for any website project, as it directly impacts both immediate performance and long-term scalability. When a database is properly provisioned, it ensures that your website has the right amount of resources - including storage capacity, processing power, and memory - to handle your expected workload efficiently. Poor provisioning can lead to slow response times, crashes during peak usage, and unnecessary costs from over-allocation of resources, making it essential to get this fundamental aspect right from the start.

Adding extra CPU cores will help dealing with many requests, extra memory will help with temporarily storing more of the database in the memory for faster processing. Egress is the amount of data transferred out to your users. I/O operations per second will help you calculate the egress and io operations for the providers that charge extra for that.

Providers that offer managed databases will help you with keeping the database updated with patches and backups and such. While unmanaged ones require you to look after all aspects of the server yourself.

All these plans are dedicated compute instances.
