Super easy to use, pay as you go service
Upstash is lightweight, fast, and cost-efficient. Perfect for Traycer’s event-driven architecture and caching layers without managing infrastructure.
Upstash provides serverless Redis that just works. Rate limiting + queue processing was a breeze.
Upstash gives me serverless Redis with zero maintenance — simple REST API, instant scaling, and generous free tier. It beats alternatives like Redis Cloud for small projects because I can set it up in seconds.
Upstash makes Redis so easy. They have a very generous free plan and I've been impressed with their speed.
Upstash powers our caching and queueing with serverless Redis that's lightning-fast and affordable. The REST API and global distribution make locks, rate limits and event queues easy to manage at scale.
Most of the AI features within RayAI runs in background as agents, Upstash made this possible and super easy to setup.
Upstash helped us scale effortlessly without worrying about infrastructure overhead. Its serverless Redis and Kafka were perfect for handling real-time pull request analysis in RevuX. We chose it over alternatives because of its simplicity, low latency, and cost efficiency at scale.
Upstash handles our Redis needs flawlessly. When you're processing millions of data verification requests, you need lightning-fast caching that just works. Their serverless approach scales with our growth without the ops headache. Game changer for data-intensive APIs.
Perfect for serverless state: session memory, gentle rate limits, and tiny event queues. The REST API + global latency made it painless to use from edge routes.
Handles both rate limiting and postal code caching via Redis. Super straightforward to integrate, and their Pay-as-you-go pricing model is perfect for side projects.
To keep Klana Tech snappy, we needed a powerful caching layer. Upstash provides serverless Redis that is both blazing fast and incredibly cost-effective. We use it for rate-limiting on our API routes and for caching frequently accessed data, which reduces our database load and speeds up response times for users. The per-request pricing model is perfect for a startup.
Alternatives Considered: Redis Labs and self-hosting Redis. Managing our own Redis instance was a non-starter (we want to build features, not manage infrastructure). Upstash’s serverless model gave us all the power of Redis with zero operational overhead.
Pro Tip: Combine Upstash with Vercel Edge Functions. You can perform tasks like A/B testing or session verification in milliseconds by accessing a Redis cache that's geographically close to your user.
Upstash made caching in Clarity super fast and affordable without needing to manage servers. It’s perfect for modern serverless apps.
