Reviewer scorecard
“If you need billion-scale vector search, Milvus handles it. GPU indexing and distributed architecture set it apart.”
“Essential infrastructure for any app that needs caching or pub/sub. Upstash makes it serverless and affordable.”
“Massive complexity for most use cases. Unless you're operating at true scale, simpler alternatives are better.”
“The license change burned some goodwill but Redis is still the best at what it does. Valkey is the hedge.”
“Purpose-built for the scale that enterprise AI will demand. The CNCF backing adds credibility.”
“Redis modules (search, graph, time series) make it more than a cache. The platform expansion is working.”
