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.
Where is my data hosted?
In data centers in the EU, on servers we run ourselves. The privacy policy says exactly where.
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.
