Reviewer scorecard
“RadixAttention and constrained decoding are powerful features. Performance benchmarks are competitive with vLLM.”
“The per-request pricing model is perfect for side projects — you literally pay nothing until you have traffic. Redis commands at $0.2/100K is incredibly cheap.”
“Impressive research but smaller community than vLLM. The frontend language is interesting but adds complexity.”
“At high scale, per-request pricing can get expensive vs a fixed Redis instance. Know your traffic patterns. For most indie hackers and startups, it's a no-brainer.”
“Constrained decoding and structured generation are the future of reliable LLM outputs. SGLang leads here.”
“Upstash is doing for Redis what Neon did for Postgres — making it serverless-native. The QStash message queue is an underrated piece of the puzzle.”
