Serverless Postgres is in public preview: fully-managed, fault-tolerant, and scalable serverless Postgres Database Service available directly inside of Koyeb.

We're excited to announce our $7M seed round led by Serena with the participation of ISAI, Samsung Next, MongoDB, and incredible angels. In this post, we dive into our mission, why we are uniquely positionned and what's next.

Today, we reaffirm our commitment to maintaining a free tier. We explain how we intend to sustain it and why we are so committed to providing one. We provide a free tier so users can explore the platform and deploy a hobby project before deploying a production-grade application. This is a story about bare metal, abuse, credit cards, and scale-to-zero.

Deploy Node.js, Go, Python, Java, and anything with a Dockerfile in 6 regions across 3 continents on high-performance microVMs.

With Koyeb Metrics, you get a high-level overview of what is happening in your services running on Koyeb. Discover how you can use Koyeb Metrics to understand your services and diagnose performance issues.

Today, we are excited to announce the support of Dockerfile based deployments in general availability. Building and deploying using Dockerfiles offer more flexibility and control over the build process of your applications to let you deploy any kind of applications, frameworks, and runtimes.

Today, we are thrilled to announce workers are generally available on Koyeb! You can now easily deploy workers to process any background jobs with high-end performance in all of our locations.

You can now deploy your full-stack applications and APIs in our newest US-East location near Washington, DC. Enjoy high-end performance and all of the platform's built-in features for your apps in the world's largest connectivity hub.

Today, we are super excited to announce the grand opening of our Frankfurt core location in Germany! Frankfurt is the largest connectivity hub in Europe and is an amazing place to run high-performance and low latency applications.

Discover how we added end-to-end tracing to all requests for Koyeb Apps. We explain how we implemented end-to-end tracing, why we chose Jaeger and Grafana Agent to power our observability stack, and how we overcame the challenges we encountered along the way.

Heroku's free tier changed the way developers, hobbyists, students, and indie hackers deployed applications. Heroku's announcement to sunset their free tier marks the end of an era. We take the time to reflect on the rise and impact of Heroku’s legendary free tier.

Today, we are super excited to share that the Koyeb platform is available for everyone in public preview. Koyeb is the developer platform to build, deploy and scale full-stack applications where your users are. We've been working on the platform since early 2021. The private preview has been intense with over 10,000 developers joining the community and now over 3000 applications running on the platform.

While writing a comparison of Kubernetes and Koyeb, we tried to determine how much operating a Kubernetes cluster really costs. This section of our comparison took us hours to write and ended up being so long that we decided to write a dedicated post about it. Kubernetes is a proven technology, but the true cost is often underestimated: this post investigates the actual financial costs of using Kubernetes.

We recently wrote about how the Koyeb Serverless Engine runs microVMS to host your Services but we skipped a big subject: Global Networking. This is a deep dive to understand the life of an end user's request for a service hosted on Koyeb. We explore the technology and components that make up our internal architecture by following the journey of a request from an end-user, through Koyeb's Global Edge Network, and to the application running in one of our Core locations.

We decided to build our own serverless engine, one that would not be limited by existing implementations. The first version of Koyeb was built on top of Kubernetes and allowed us to quickly build a working cloud platform. After a few months of operating with this version, we decided to move user workloads from Kubernetes to a custom stack based on Nomad, Firecracker, and Kuma.

Caching is an effective technique for improving performance and reducing latency speeds for the requests of your web services and apps. CDNs bring your content even closer to end-users. Learn about cache control: what it is, how to configure it, and when to use it.

Virtualization optimizes the use of computing resources. Firecracker, a lightweight virtualization technology, is transforming the possibilities of serverless workloads.

When considering a FaaS or CaaS deployment strategy, it is worthwhile to consider the difference in the managed responsiblities between FaaS and CaaS offerings. Learn more about ideal use cases and when to use FaaS or CaaS solutions.

Firecracker is a virtualization technology with that is setting the serverless world ablaze. While there are many perks with Firecracker, here are our top ten reasons why we love Firecracker.

FaaS and CaaS are two popular deployment strategies with their own unique advantages and ideal use cases. Knowing what distinguishes them can help when deciding how to build and deploy your web apps.

Virtualization technology is evolving. Firecracker is an emerging solution that combines the security and isolation of bare metal instances with the density and performance of containers.

The serverless computing era is here. Learn about the implications of going serverless as well as the benefits and existing challenges to implementing this emerging technology.

The serverless computing era is here. Learn about the history and evolution of cloud computing to see why developers and businesses are excited about serverless technology.

The Koyeb CLI is now available and ready to let you manage all your Koyeb resources directly from your shell! The Koyeb CLI is a critical piece to improve the deployment experience and provide a fast way to interact with Koyeb when you develop your projects.

We are proud to announce the availability of the Koyeb Serverless Engine for everyone and the ability to deploy your own code on Koyeb. In addition to the ready-to-use integrations, you can now seamlessly deploy Docker Containers and Code Functions with built-in Continuous Deployment using Git.

Today we are delighted to announce our €1.4M pre-seed round! This round confirms the need for a new generation of serverless, multi-cloud, platforms with a strong focus on the developer experience.

Today, we are excited to share more about the technology we are building to help you with your cloud journey and to deploy all your platforms in the 2020s.
