> offsetting part of the projected cost of the $4 tier as well Usually - well before inflation - this tier was $2.50.
I thought the $4 tier was new. Or did they announce intent a while ago at the $2.50 price point?
To give some hobbyist level price increase numbers: I'm currently running two basic droplets at 8gb RAM and 4vCPU, which is basically just enough resources for a proper dev kubernetes cluster with Promethueus, Loki, 5-6 apps, etc (4gb 4vCPU is not enough, I tried). I also run a third 1gb1vcpu management droplet outside the cluster as well as a load balancer in front of my API gateway and a spaces instance to dump bac…

Maybe, but that doesn't impact existing hardware. So unless this upgrade includes things like newer CPUs or more ram/disk for a droplet that doesn't apply, and as far as I can tell, the hardware I started on 4 years ago is the same. At least they've not advertised any new CPUs or increased disk or ram.

20% bump for the most budget-sensitive option is a crazy increase. Sure it's fine if you only have one, but I'm sure there are many folk who have hundreds
They also introduced a new 10GB (512MB memory) tier that's 20% cheaper than the budget-tier's original $5/month price

How does this compare with prices for AWS/Google Compute Engine/Azure ?
i'll stick with Scaleway
there is something about digital ocean, they are stuck in the past, the only things they are doing these days is catching up with the competition while at the same time keep their useless restrictions like the bandwidth limit

In addition to inflation, they may also be offsetting part of the projected cost of the $4 tier as well.

EDIT: I just saw your comment clarifying that you were speaking about Vultr. That wasn't clear from your phrasing, but I wanted to acknowledge it here.
