koigrid vs Backblaze B2
Flat-rate S3 storage with EU data residency and agent-native control.
Backblaze B2 is cheap, but egress is only free up to 3× your stored data, it’s US-based (no EU residency), and it’s a storage product — not a managed, agent-native cloud.

Frequently asked questions
Is koigrid cheaper than Backblaze B2?
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 Backblaze B2 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.
