Very weird. Can you test a more expensive DO box, please? I had to move to OVH from DO because the performance was so crap.

My iMac was smoking the more expensive DO servers.

Tried the lowest CPU optimized and the 3rd highest for kicks:

$40/mo - 4 GB Memory / 25 GB Disk / NYC1 - Ubuntu 18.04.2 x64

  progress: 60.0 s, 3295.3 tps, lat 3.034 ms stddev 1.906
  progress: 120.0 s, 3384.4 tps, lat 2.955 ms stddev 2.341
  progress: 180.0 s, 3294.9 tps, lat 3.035 ms stddev 2.384
  progress: 240.0 s, 3025.3 tps, lat 3.305 ms stddev 2.158
  progress: 300.0 s, 3158.5 tps, lat 3.166 ms stddev 2.435
  progress: 360.0 s, 3097.8 tps, lat 3.228 ms stddev 3.078

$480/mo - 64 GB Memory / 400 GB Disk / NYC3 - Ubuntu 18.04.2 x64

  progress: 60.0 s, 4114.9 tps, lat 2.429 ms stddev 7.033
  progress: 120.0 s, 4143.9 tps, lat 2.414 ms stddev 6.656
  progress: 180.0 s, 3845.5 tps, lat 2.598 ms stddev 7.774
  progress: 240.0 s, 4324.4 tps, lat 2.314 ms stddev 7.129
  progress: 300.0 s, 3892.1 tps, lat 2.569 ms stddev 8.179
  progress: 360.0 s, 4071.5 tps, lat 2.457 ms stddev 7.833

Doesn't look like they scale too well, unfortunately.

I'm surprised DO is killing it as hard as they are when OVH has dedicated servers for comparable prices and 2x the performance.

Are you able to run pgbench against their new Postgres hosted instances?

[MuffinFlavored]

I did it myself.

$5 NYC1 droplet with pg-bench hitting a $480/mo NYC1 Postgres cluster:

  progress: 60.0 s, 2859.9 tps, lat 3.492 ms stddev 3.421

Yikes.
