koigrid vs Vercel Log Drains
Forward your platform logs to any sink — the built-in alternative to Vercel Log Drains.
Vercel Log Drains stream your logs to an external destination so you keep them, search them and alert on them in the tool you already use. koigrid does the same — buffer your build/runtime/app logs and ship them to any HTTP sink or Datadog — with a durable per-drain cursor (so a sink that is briefly down loses nothing), with no per-drain fee.

|---|---|---|
| Pricing | Included (no per-use fee) | Per drain (Pro/Enterprise) |
| HTTP sink (Logtail/Axiom/Better Stack…) | Yes | Yes |
| Datadog format | Native | Via HTTP |
| Durable buffer + cursor (no loss on outage) | Yes | Best-effort |
| Push your own app logs (ingest API) | Yes | No (platform logs only) |
| Anti-SSRF on destination | Yes | n/a |
| Manage by AI agent | Native (API + CLI) | API |
What koigrid improves
Nothing lost on an outage
Each drain keeps a cursor over a durable buffer — a sink that is down just resumes where it left off.
Push your own logs
Not just platform logs: an app or agent can POST structured records to the ingest API and they flow to every drain.
No per-drain fee
Log drains are included — no per-drain surcharge.
Frequently asked questions
Is koigrid cheaper than Vercel Log Drains?
It depends on the workload. koigrid charges for the RAM and disk you reserve, by the hour, shared vCPU included, from a public price list — with bandwidth included and no per-request fees. Egress-heavy setups usually come out well ahead; see the estimate above.
Can I migrate from Vercel Log Drains without lock-in?
Yes. koigrid runs on portable primitives — standard PostgreSQL, S3-compatible storage and containers — so you can move in (or out) whenever you want.
Where is my data hosted?
In data centers in the EU, on servers we run ourselves. The privacy policy says exactly where.
Can I run everything from an API or an AI agent?
Yes — koigrid is API-first and agent-native: every action has an API and a scoped token, with llms.txt and OpenAPI so an LLM can operate it end to end.
