July 2023 Summaries

Koyeb offers a serverless platform designed to deploy applications globally in under five minutes, emphasizing high-end performance through meticulous infrastructure management. This includes deploying apps inside microVMs on high-end bare metal servers worldwide, with edge acceleration and a global load-balancing layer to optimize network performance. The platform supports advanced protocols like HTTP/2 and gRPC, which reduce latency and enable new applications, although HTTP/3 support is not yet available. Koyeb uses an Envoy proxy orchestrated by Kuma with Cloudflare's edge network to load-balance traffic globally, and a protocol selector allows users to specify whether their services should use HTTP/1.x or HTTP/2, ensuring seamless communication. With native support for HTTP/2 and gRPC, Koyeb simplifies complex infrastructure management and allows users to deploy services without handling protocol intricacies.

Koyeb, a distributed team with a strong presence in Europe, is expanding and has welcomed Justin, a new team member who brings experience from IaaS at DigitalOcean and a user perspective on serverless technology. Justin shares his journey into technical writing, which began incidentally after moving to New York City and successfully transitioning from a Linux enthusiast to writing Linux tutorials. He values the learning and teaching aspects of technical writing, emphasizing clarity and iterative learning. In his free time, he enjoys spending time with his family and pets, listening to music, and exploring nature. He fondly recalls vacations to Ghent in Belgium and Playa Potrero in Costa Rica. Koyeb encourages individuals passionate about cloud computing and cutting-edge technologies to explore job opportunities on their careers page to help shape the future of cloud platforms.
