If you want to run a database on VPS with ssd disk, you'll need at least two replicas for data redundancy, which would cost about $10.


The article scopes this as "for development, testing, demos, or short-lived workloads". Do you really need HA/replication for any of those workloads?


but when the VPS fails, you lost all your data


You probably need to define "fails" for me. I've never had a VPS straight up "fail" before, as in a hardware level, can't access the data, dead. You may temporarily lose access to the data, but I've always been able to recover said data.


VPS backups are $1 for the $5 1GB VPS
