koigrid vs Heroku
Managed apps + Postgres with a flat rate and EU hosting — the modern alternative to Heroku.
Heroku pioneered git-push deploys, but dynos are pricey for what you get, add-ons stack up, and its direction under Salesforce left many looking for a calmer, EU-hosted home.
| Feature | koigrid | Heroku |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing | Flat rate, bandwidth included | Per-dyno + paid add-ons |
| Managed Postgres (HA) | Included | Paid add-on |
| EU data sovereignty | Yes | Region-dependent |
| Agent-native | Yes — deploy from your LLM | CLI/git, not agent-first |
| Lock-in | Portable (standard containers) | Buildpacks + add-on ecosystem |
