November 2023 Summaries

Koyeb has launched the public preview of its Serverless Postgres Database Service, which offers a fully managed, scalable, and fault-tolerant Postgres experience. This service allows users to deploy databases alongside APIs and workers on a single platform with a unified experience, featuring support for Postgres extensions, auto-sleeping after inactivity, and the latest Postgres versions. The service is globally available in regions like Washington, D.C., Frankfurt, and Singapore and is 100% Postgres compatible, designed to simplify database management with no infrastructure to maintain. Partnered with Neon, Koyeb's solution aligns with a serverless philosophy, providing users the ability to create and manage databases via a command-line interface or dashboard, with free access to a basic tier during the preview. Future enhancements include larger databases, autoscaling, and flexible pricing, and users are encouraged to provide feedback to shape the product further.

Koyeb, a company focused on simplifying app deployment with a global serverless platform, has raised $7 million in seed funding, led by Bertrand Diard and Floriane de Maupeou at Serena, with participation from ISAI, Samsung Next, and MongoDB, among others. The company offers a fully managed platform that allows developers and businesses to build, run, and scale applications globally without the need for code rewrites or infrastructure management. Koyeb's approach leverages high-performance bare metal servers and its own software stack to provide a seamless deployment experience, enabling quick and efficient global app deployment. This platform supports a wide range of frameworks and languages, allowing for flexibility and performance without the complexity typically associated with traditional cloud technology. Koyeb's partnerships with technological companies like MongoDB and Equinix Metal further enhance its capabilities, as it continues to innovate in the serverless infrastructure space, with plans to expand features and locations, including the introduction of serverless Postgres and GPU support for AI workloads in 2024.
