Reviewer scorecard
“The best open-source BI tool. Self-host for free, connect to any database, and non-technical users can build queries.”
“Essential infrastructure for any app that needs caching or pub/sub. Upstash makes it serverless and affordable.”
“Free, self-hostable, and the visual query builder actually works for non-SQL users. Essential for data democratization.”
“The license change burned some goodwill but Redis is still the best at what it does. Valkey is the hedge.”
“Clean dashboard design and embedding make it easy to share insights. The UI is intuitive for non-technical teams.”
“Redis modules (search, graph, time series) make it more than a cache. The platform expansion is working.”
