Reviewer scorecard
“The complete data platform — Spark, Delta Lake, MLflow, and SQL Analytics. For enterprise data teams, it's the standard.”
“Essential infrastructure for any app that needs caching or pub/sub. Upstash makes it serverless and affordable.”
“Expensive and complex. Smaller teams should use Snowflake for analytics or simpler tools. Databricks is enterprise-scale.”
“The license change burned some goodwill but Redis is still the best at what it does. Valkey is the hedge.”
“The lakehouse architecture is winning. Databricks + Delta Lake + Unity Catalog is the data platform blueprint.”
“Redis modules (search, graph, time series) make it more than a cache. The platform expansion is working.”
