Koyeb: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Koyeb is a serverless cloud platform for running APIs, containers, models and AI inference workloads. Developers deploy code, containers or models through a Git push or a command-line call, and services scale automatically, down to zero when idle. The platform also offers managed Postgres databases with vector support, NVMe volumes, and CPU and GPU hardware for AI workloads. It is delivered as a managed cloud service.

Koyeb is a French company based in Paris. Its website states that it is joining Mistral AI. Customers select their deployment regions: the documentation lists Frankfurt and Paris, alongside Washington D.C., Singapore and Tokyo. Placing workloads in an EU region keeps them within the EU, which matters for European organisations with data-location requirements. The site links a data processing agreement; it does not mention the GDPR and names no self-hosted edition.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Koyeb

Koyeb is headquartered in FR and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

Koyeb hosts data in EU, US, OTHER. Exactly what stays within the EU — and what does not — is defined by the vendor's data processing agreement and sub-processor list, not by a setting you control yourself; check those documents for the precise scope, including backups, logs and support access.

Koyeb is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Koyeb together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
