My database size is becoming intense and i want faster retrievals. I use pgvector as well. I noticed that the database takes time to load now which is why I was planning to upgrade. i was on free plan. Should I use self host on OVH with coolify or just upgrade with supabase? which will be faster. The plans of supabase are super expensive for the amount of resources (2GB Ram, 2 ARM cores) vs OVH vps half the price and 12gb ram, 6 shared cores.
Edit: I am already hosting my React + NextJS site on OVH with coolify.

Managed is for people who don't want to configure and maintain the database engine, only data.
If you are confident in your system administration skills, self hosting is more cost effective performance-wise.
Yup,
Performance wise as-well, Often times managed DB hosting providers limit IOPs significantly,
I would recommend self hosting and instead of buying a VPS just get a cheap bare metal from OVH, there are decent bare metal servers you can use for DB starting at roughly $26/month from OVH, a decent one is roughly $39/month on OVH.
But yet again its all dependent on your technical knowledge.
The problem with baremetal is the hard disk issues and losing data. although i create a backup daily but remain busy most of the time. This is a side project so want to just leave it after creation. At least in VPS, OVH is responsible for hard disk monitoring and timely replacing bad ones.
Instead of dedicated, should i go for 24gb, 8 cores shared cpu server of OVH?
Send us a DM, let me see if we can get you on our network.
sent you a message. but looking for reliability and close to 100% uptime like supabase and ovh already give.

Self hosted Supabase has such reduced features it's unusable. If you're not set on Postgresql as your database, consider SurrealDB.
