Reviewer scorecard
“Essential infrastructure for any app that needs caching or pub/sub. Upstash makes it serverless and affordable.”
“SQLite at the edge with embedded replicas is brilliant. Zero-latency reads for read-heavy workloads.”
“The license change burned some goodwill but Redis is still the best at what it does. Valkey is the hedge.”
“The embedded replica pattern genuinely solves the edge database problem. Drizzle ORM integration is seamless.”
“Redis modules (search, graph, time series) make it more than a cache. The platform expansion is working.”
“SQLite everywhere is a paradigm shift. Turso makes it practical for production multi-region apps.”
