Redis is the standard in-memory data structure store used for caching, sessions, queues, and real-time features. Upstash Redis brings serverless pricing. License changed to dual SSPL/RSALv2.
Reviewer scorecard
“Software-defined assets are the right abstraction. Better DX than Airflow with type checking and built-in observability.”
“Essential infrastructure for any app that needs caching or pub/sub. Upstash makes it serverless and affordable.”
“The asset-centric approach makes more sense than Airflow's task-centric model for modern data engineering.”
“The license change burned some goodwill but Redis is still the best at what it does. Valkey is the hedge.”
“Dagster represents the next generation of data orchestration. Asset-based thinking replaces task-based thinking.”
“Redis modules (search, graph, time series) make it more than a cache. The platform expansion is working.”
