ABOUT

What is Koyeb?

Koyeb is a serverless platform for deploying web services, APIs, workers, databases, and AI workloads on CPU, GPU, and accelerator infrastructure. It builds from Git repositories or runs container images, with autoscaling, scale-to-zero, service discovery, and a global edge network. A permanent free instance makes it suitable for small hobby services, but production usage is billed per second and requires a payment method.

BEFORE YOU SIGN UP

What you should know

✓

Global container deploymentKoyeb supports Git and container deployments across a global edge network, with native HTTP/2, WebSocket, gRPC, autoscaling, and scale-to-zero options.

△

One free web service per organizationThe free service has 512 MB RAM, 0.1 vCPU, and 2 GB SSD, runs only in Frankfurt or Washington, D.C., and cannot use workers, volumes, or custom scaling.

△

Free PostgreSQL is time limitedEach organization gets one free PostgreSQL database with 1 GB of storage and 5 hours of active time, so it is suited to development and small experiments.

Credit card validation is mandatoryKoyeb requires a card to prevent abuse and places a $29 authorization hold during validation. Paid usage can also accumulate when you deploy resources outside the free allowances.

COMMUNITY

From the forums

Community discussion is relatively sparse, but Reddit examples show Koyeb being used for small backend and hobby deployments and compared with Fly.io, Railway, and Render. That is useful evidence for evaluation rather than a broad reliability consensus, so production users should validate regional performance and billing for their own workload.
