Reviewer scorecard
“Essential infrastructure for any app that needs caching or pub/sub. Upstash makes it serverless and affordable.”
“Turn SQL queries into instant APIs. The real-time ingestion and ClickHouse performance are impressive.”
“The license change burned some goodwill but Redis is still the best at what it does. Valkey is the hedge.”
“If you need real-time analytics APIs, Tinybird eliminates the infrastructure complexity. The SQL-to-API model is clean.”
“Redis modules (search, graph, time series) make it more than a cache. The platform expansion is working.”
“Real-time analytics as an API is the right abstraction for modern data-driven applications.”
