Reviewer scorecard
“Simple to install but the data quality is limited. PostHog session replay is better for technical teams.”
“Essential infrastructure for any app that needs caching or pub/sub. Upstash makes it serverless and affordable.”
“Heatmaps and recordings reveal how users actually interact with designs. Essential for UX optimization.”
“PostHog does everything Hotjar does plus product analytics. Consolidating tools is smarter than paying for both.”
“The license change burned some goodwill but Redis is still the best at what it does. Valkey is the hedge.”
“Redis modules (search, graph, time series) make it more than a cache. The platform expansion is working.”
