Ask HN: Database Hosting

[r226]

hi,

im looking for an external hosting provider for my database, im using arangodb. (currently hosting it on a vps, same instance and provider, as my php and js code)

i know if arango oasis, but its quite expensive for small projects. does anyone know of any alternatives?

thanks!

You could always use EC2 from AWS but it requires a bit of config.

Seems like Arango has a Kuberentes operator. https://www.arangodb.com/download-major/kubernetes/

You could use that with a Google Cloud or AWS EKS.

thank you for your reply. oasis is running on google cloud, aws and azure so the price would probably be around the same.

im thinking, maybe get a cheap vps on a second provider and stick it on there, and only use it for db, nothing else.

if hetzner is supported in your area, they have cheaper VPS. same with digital ocean/linode vs. the hyperscalers (azure, aws, gcp)
