Welcome to the first day of launch week #2! Today, we are excited to introduce our brand new control panel!
Our mission at Koyeb is to offer the fastest way to deploy applications globally while delivering an exceptional developer experience. Over the past few months, we totally reimagined how to deliver a simple, reactive, and intuitive experience to deploy, manage, and scale projects to production.
Behind the scenes, the Koyeb web interface acts as a powerful control panel that lets you provision an end-to-end production environment for your workloads with continuous deployment, autoscaling, metrics, advanced networking whether on CPU or GPU.
Perhaps you’ve already noticed the changes during the last months as we’ve been adding the final touches.
So far, the initial feedback we’ve received about the new experience has been extremely positive, people love it!
So what’s new? The long and short: Our new control panel simplifies serverless deployments, provides an organized overview page to efficiently visualize and manage your Koyeb resources, and offers a simplified navigation experience.
- Revamped deployment experience
- New Service overview page for a summary of your Services
- Overview page: Efficiently visualize and manage Koyeb resources
- Enhanced navigation experience
- First deployments: An easier way to get started
Revamped deployment experience
The new deployment experience in the control panel is a simple click operation. Simply select the type of service you want to deploy — service, private service, worker or database — and your deployment method — via a GitHub repository or any container registry.
Then, you can choose the Instance resource type for your workload between our line up of GPUs, Standard CPUs, and Eco CPUs and select where in the world you want to deploy them. On the map of core locations, we display latencies to your location.
Next up is a summary of your deployment. On this page, you can configure environment variables, autoscaling policies, see deployments, and an estimated cost for your deployment.
View build and deployment logs in real-time for deployments
When you’re ready to deploy, you can see the build and deployment logs. We enhanced the logs experience, so now you can see the duration and last line of the build and deployment process even when the section is collapsed. This gives you clear insight into your deployment progress.
New additions to the service summary page: Build artifacts and ability to pause and delete services
After a first deployment, the service’s setting page provides more useful actions. If you wish to redeploy with a previous build, you can opt to use the build archived from the previous deployment.
Another useful action found on the bottom of this page is the ability to pause and delete the service. Previously, these actions were tucked away in the service setting’s page.
New service overview page
Navigate through your service’s deployments effortlessly with our redesigned service overview page. It offers a seamless user experience without compromising on crucial deployment details.
- Navigate across your deployments witout losing important context
- Get an overview of your deployment in one click
- Visualize a summary of your resources
- Easier identification of your Services
Overview page: Efficiently visualize and manage Koyeb resources
From the overview page in the dashboard, you get a high-level view of your Koyeb resources, recent activity, and easy access to creating and managing all of your resources.
- Easily view all of your Koyeb resources
- Visualize all key information at a quick glance: Instance health status, URL, regions, and deployment source
- See your Organizations recent activity
- Quick access to the side navigation bar for Services, Domains, Secrets, Volumes, Teams, and creating new Services
Enhanced Navigation with New Sidebar
Our new sidebar lets you navigate the control panel. In one-click, you can:
- Toggle between Koyeb Organizations
- Configure Domains
- Manage Secrets
- Manage Volumes
- See all recent activity
- Add team members
- Track costs at a glance to ensure optimal resource management
First deployments: An easier way to get to started
We've enhanced the first deployment experience with a revamped build and deployment logs experience, in-app guidance for troubleshooting, and clearer representation of instance types and statuses. This makes it easier than ever to get started with your initial deployments.
Instant guidance when an issue occurs
When an issue occurs during your first deployment, we provide instant guidance to help you troubleshoot and resolve the issue. This improvement is especially helpful for new users who may encounter issues during their first deployment.
Easily track progress with new build and deployment logs experience
As mentioned above, the new build and deployment logs experience allows you to easily track the progress of your deployment. This is especially useful for new users who may not be familiar with the deployment process.
Clear representation of instances and status
After a deployment, you can easily see the instance type and status of your deployment. This makes it easier to understand the resources you are using and the status of your deployment.
Future plans for the control panel
We are very excited about these milestones! And yet, there are still so many things we want to add! We’re looking forward to these enhancements, like adding support for mobile versions and making continuous improvements based on your feedback.
Let us know what you think of the new deployment experience in the Koyeb Community and on X @gokoyeb. While you're at it, show us what you’re building on the platform!
