Reviewer scorecard
“Essential infrastructure for any app that needs caching or pub/sub. Upstash makes it serverless and affordable.”
“The most cost-effective vector database for large-scale search. Object storage backend keeps costs predictable.”
“The license change burned some goodwill but Redis is still the best at what it does. Valkey is the hedge.”
“Radical cost reduction for vector search. If your vectors are mostly at rest, turbopuffer's economics are compelling.”
“Redis modules (search, graph, time series) make it more than a cache. The platform expansion is working.”
“Serverless vector search with aggressive cost optimization addresses the biggest barrier to vector adoption at scale.”
