Upstash provides serverless Redis and Kafka with pay-per-request pricing, making it a perfect fit for modern, event-driven applications.

Upstash is by far the easiest redis & vector DB we could find which made it incredibly easy to implement rate limiting and vector search.

We rely on Upstash for our Redis cache and Qstash for background jobs and cron tasks. Incredible developer experience and scalability — couldn’t recommend it more!

Upstash is an absolute pleasure to work with. Shootmail uses their Redis for caching and Qstash to handle mail queueing with auto retries and error handling.

I tried this product in small applications that I developed. Its speed is really impressive. I think it has a scalable structure. I think it will work effectively when used in large-scale applications. Moreover, it works in perfect harmony with Redis. It will be among the my stacks.
