koigrid vs AWS CloudWatch
Events, metrics and alarms built in — the flat-rate alternative to AWS CloudWatch.
On AWS, logs, metrics, dashboards and alarms are a separate service billed per metric, per alarm, per GB and per API call — and you wire each resource to it. koigrid ships observability with every resource: an event feed, health metrics sampled from your databases and caches, and email alarms.
| Feature | koigrid | AWS CloudWatch |
|---|---|---|
| Event timeline per tenant | Built-in | Logs Insights (extra) |
| Resource health metrics | Sampled automatically | Per-metric, you wire it |
| Threshold alarms → email | Built-in | Alarms + SNS (extra) |
| Setup | Automatic with every resource | Per-resource, per-metric |
| Query by API / AI agent | Native | API (complex) |

Frequently asked questions
Is koigrid cheaper than AWS CloudWatch?
koigrid is flat-rate with bandwidth included — no per-GB egress or per-request fees. For a comparable setup you usually pay a lot less (see the estimate above).
Can I migrate from AWS CloudWatch without lock-in?
Yes. koigrid runs on portable primitives — standard PostgreSQL, S3-compatible storage and containers — so you can move in (or out) whenever you want.
Is my data hosted in the EU?
Yes. koigrid is EU-hosted (on Hetzner) with data sovereignty by default.
Can I run everything from an API or an AI agent?
Yes — koigrid is API-first and agent-native: every action has an API and a scoped token, with llms.txt and OpenAPI so an LLM can operate it end to end.
