Koyeb API
Koyeb API — deploy containerized apps and serverless functions globally across multiple regions with automatic scaling, built-in TLS, and pay-per-use pricing.
Score Breakdown
⚙ Agent Friendliness
🔒 Security
API token with full account access. TLS auto-provisioned via Let's Encrypt. SOC2 certified. Secrets managed as service environment variables (encrypted at rest).
⚡ Reliability
Best When
Agents need to deploy and manage globally distributed containerized services with automatic scaling and zero infrastructure management.
Avoid When
You need stateful services, persistent volumes, or Kubernetes-level control.
Use Cases
- • Agents deploying containerized services to multiple global regions simultaneously via API
- • Auto-scaling agent worker pools based on load using Koyeb's scaling policies
- • Serverless function deployment for agent webhooks with automatic global edge distribution
- • Continuous deployment pipelines triggered from agents after CI/CD passes
- • Blue/green deployments — agents updating service image tags to deploy new versions safely
Not For
- • Stateful workloads requiring persistent local disk — Koyeb containers are ephemeral
- • Teams needing Kubernetes-native features — use EKS or GKE for K8s-specific requirements
- • High-compute ML training jobs — Koyeb is optimized for web services, not batch compute
Interface
Authentication
API token from Koyeb dashboard. Passed as Authorization: Bearer header. Organization-level tokens for team access.
Pricing
Free tier includes a full web service deployment. No credit card needed to start. Usage beyond free tier requires billing setup.
Agent Metadata
Known Gotchas
- ⚠ Deployments are async — POST to redeploy returns immediately; poll deployment status for completion
- ⚠ Docker registry credentials must be configured separately from API token
- ⚠ Health check configuration is critical — misconfigured health checks prevent deployments from becoming healthy
- ⚠ Region selection affects latency — agents should specify regions close to users
- ⚠ Service scaling is configured per-service — agents managing scaling must update service configuration
