koigrid vs Neon
Managed Postgres HA at a flat rate — an EU alternative to Neon.
Neon is serverless Postgres billed by usage. koigrid gives you dedicated HA Postgres (leader + standby, automatic failover) at a flat rate, EU-hosted and agent-native.
Same setup — what you actually pay
You save ~$52/mo (81%)
For a managed HA Postgres cluster (failover, pooling, backups). Estimate from public pricing; koigrid is flat-rate with egress included. (prices reviewed 2026-07-03)

What koigrid improves
Flat, dedicated
Dedicated resources at a flat price, not metered compute.
HA by default
Leader + standby with automatic failover.
Branching to test safely
Branch production to try a migration in isolation, reset it back, ephemeral TTL — like Neon, on standard Postgres you can take anywhere (no lock-in).
Least-privilege roles
Manage scoped Postgres roles per database, all by API. Passwords never hit logs.
Agent-native
Everything by API for your agent.
Frequently asked questions
Is koigrid cheaper than Neon?
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 Neon 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.
