koigrid vs AWS ElastiCache
Managed Redis with real HA at a flat rate — the alternative to AWS ElastiCache.
ElastiCache prices per node-hour, per replica, plus data transfer, and you still design failover and endpoint routing. koigrid gives you master + replica + 3 Sentinels + a master-aware endpoint + snapshots, EU-hosted, at a flat price with bandwidth included.
Same setup — what you actually pay
You save ~$3/mo (20%)

Frequently asked questions
Is koigrid cheaper than AWS ElastiCache?
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 ElastiCache 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.
