Paris and Tokyo Regions are now Generally Available

Today is Day 3 of Launch Week, and we are excited to announce not just one, but two new regions are generally available to deploy your low-latency AI workloads, full stack applications, APIs, and databases globally!

Join us in welcoming Paris and Tokyo to the Koyeb platform and to a growing list of global locations where you can deploy your applications! 🎉

As of today GA locations now include: Paris 🇫🇷, Tokyo 🇯🇵, Washington, D.C. 🇺🇸, Singapore 🇸🇬, and Frankfurt. 🇩🇪 🇪🇺

Everything you need to deploy high performance serverless apps is now available in Paris and Tokyo:

• Standard Instances with blazing fast CPUs to host your APIs, inference endpoints, or Workers for async processing
• Deploy any one of over 40 Apps in One-Click or your own GitHub repository and Docker containers
• Our 70% faster deployment speed and high-performance private network that we announced yesterday.

Additionally, the Paris and Tokyo regions benefit from our zero infrastructure management experience with all the platform’s features: continuous deployment, autoscaling, built-in edge network, service discovery for seamless service-to-service communication, real-time logs and metrics, and more.

Deploy in Paris and Tokyo in Seconds 秒

Whether you prefer a user-friendly control panel or prefer working from your terminal, you can deploy through our dashboard or CLI within seconds.

Our platform supports deployments with:

• Git: Seamlessly integrate with GitHub to push code directly from your repositories to production. We take care of the build process, using either native buildpacks or a Dockerfile that you provide.
• Docker images: Deploy container images from any public or private registry. This is ideal if you already have a CI pipeline generating Docker images. In both cases, your workloads are run in isolated Firecracker microVMs on our bare metal servers, located in your chosen regions.
• Local directory: Using the Koyeb CLI, you can build and deploy your application directly from your project's directory. Unlike deploying with GitHub or from a container registry, deploying from a project directory does not require any intermediary services.

For today’s demo, we’ll deploy a sample Go application from a public Git repository.

Via the CLI

To deploy our Go example in Paris and Tokyo, run the following command with the CLI:

koyeb app init fast \
  --git github.com/koyeb/go \
  --git-branch main \
  --regions par,tyo

Once the deployment has finished and your application is live, run the following command to obtain the public domain, which you can then use to access your application.

koyeb app get fast
ID      	NAME	STATUS  	DOMAINS                             	CREATED AT

Via the control panel

To deploy any project in Paris and Tokyo using the freshly revamped control panel, you will need to follow 3 steps:

1. 👨‍💻 Select your deployment method: GitHub or Docker
2. ⬇️ Import your project
3. ✅ Configure your service

After you've imported your project, you can select the instance type and the regions you want to deploy to.

Here's the service summary page you'll see before deploying the example Golang application using the control panel:

On this page, you can configure:

• Builder: Koyeb can use either native buildpacks or a Dockerfile to build your application
• Environment variables: You can also set Secrets to keep sensitive information safe
• Instance type: GPU, Standard, and Eco Instances
• Regions: Tokyo, Paris, San Francisco, Washington, D.C., Frankfurt, and Signapore
• Scaling: Fixed or autoscaling
• Ports: The ports on which your service listens
• Health checks: By default, Koyeb automatically performs TCP health checks on your Service's exposed ports to ensure maximum availability

You can see the estimated cost of your service before deploying it. Once you’re ready, hit Deploy to launch your application.

Why Paris and Tokyo?

Proximity is essential when it comes to delivering optimal performance to your end users in Europe and APAC. Paris and Tokyo were two highly demanded regions for the platform.

Hosting your services closer to your audience improves connectivity and reduces latency, ensuring a faster and smoother experience.

As a part of our mission to provide everyone using your apps and services the best possible experience, we needed to add a core location closer to them. We're so excited about the thriving tech ecosystems in these regions and look forward to seeing what you deploy there!

Pricing

Standard Instance in Paris and Tokyo are available for everyone at the same price than other regions.

Our pricing model is simple and transparent: you only pay resources used per second, allowing you to scale based on your needs. You can deploy our GPU, Standard, and Eco Instances on-demand:

• GPU Instances are perfect for running AI workloads and inference. Explore our GPU Instances.
• Standard Instances are ideal for production workloads and resource-intensive applications. Explore our Standard Instances.
• Eco Instances are designed for cost-effective workloads that can tolerate some latency. Explore our Eco Instances.

We also offer managed PostgreSQL databases, so you can run your databases in the same place as your services. Explore our Postgres database details and pricing.
