Today, we're making global deployment more accessible than ever with our new Eco Instance types, starting at $1.61 per month ($0.0000006 per second). We're also increasing the resources of the Free Instance type, giving you more to work with at no cost.

We're excited to announce the Koyeb Serverless Postgres public preview - a fully managed, fault-tolerant, and scalable serverless Postgres Database Service. What do all modern applications have in common? They all have APIs, workers, and databases. Deploying APIs and workers with Koyeb has long been possible. Starting today, you can spin up databases too! Using Koyeb Serverless Postgres, you can easily start a resilient Database Service alongside your apps in a few seconds.

We are thrilled to share that we’ve raised $7M in seed funding! At Koyeb, we simplify app deployment with our global serverless platform. We provide an easy way to deploy full-stack applications and databases in production, everywhere, in minutes. We’re focused on allowing developers and businesses to seamlessly build, run, and scale any application globally, with no code rewrite or infrastructure management.

One year ago, Heroku sunsetted its free tier. Today, we want to reaffirm our commitment to maintaining our free tier, dive into why offering a free tier for compute is complicated (we are looking at you crypto miners), take the time to explain how we intend to sustain it, and explain why we are so committed to providing a free tier. Long story short: we aim to keep a free tier thanks to how we control our costs.

If you ever tried to go global, you have probably faced a reality check. A whole new set of issues starts to appear when you start to operate a workload over multiple locations across the globe: So it looks like a great idea in theory, but in practice, all of this complexity multiplies the number of failure scenarios to consider!

We previously explored how we built our own Serverless Engine and a multi-region networking layer based on Nomad, Firecracker, and Kuma. But what about the architecture of the engine that orchestrates these components across the world? This is an interesting topic to work on and we thought it could be useful to share some internals out there. Put on your scuba equipment, this is a deep dive into our architecture and the story of how we built our own global deployment engine.

We're excited to announce not one but… 4 new regions in public preview! Everyone with Starter access or more can now deploy simultaneously across our 6 regions in EU, US, and APAC in literally 1 minute.

At Koyeb, we're working to build the most seamless way to deploy apps to production without worrying about infrastructure. But there's still plenty to keep you busy at the application layer with performance tuning and troubleshooting. That's why we're introducing Metrics — an easy way to monitor and troubleshoot application performance. Deploying on Koyeb makes thinking about infrastructure or orchestration unnecessary.

Speed and efficiency are paramount during the build process. If you use a Dockerfile to build your container images from source code, you want to know about build cache. In this blog post, we’ll talk about what happens when you create a Docker image using a Dockerfile, how caching works with Docker, and how to optimize your Dockerfiles to maximize the benefits of build cache with Docker and on Koyeb.

Today, we are excited to announce the support of Dockerfile based deployments in general availability. You can now deploy any GitHub repository that contains a Dockerfile across all our locations worldwide. It can be used to deploy APIs, full-stack applications as well as workers with no extra cost. Building and deploying using Dockerfiles offers more flexibility: you can deploy any kind of application, framework, and runtime, including with custom system dependencies.
