koigrid vs AWS RDS
Managed Postgres HA at a flat rate — the predictable alternative to AWS RDS.
RDS charges instance + CPU credits + RDS Proxy + storage + backups + egress; a small busy instance can cost more in credits than the instance itself. koigrid gives you HA Postgres with pooling and PITR at a flat rate.
Same setup — what you actually pay
You save ~$42/mo (78%)

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