Serverless Redis-compatible database with auto-scaling, multi-region replication, and REST API access.
Upstash Redis offers per-request pricing with a monthly cap for serverless architectures. It supports regional and global deployments with multi-region replication for low-latency reads. The service is compatible with almost all Redis API commands and familiar clients, plus HTTP/REST SDKs for TypeScript, Python, Go, and PHP. This dual access suits platforms like Vercel Edge Functions, Cloudflare Workers, and AWS Lambda where TCP clients cannot operate.
Developers use it for caching, sessions, rate limiting, leaderboards, analytics, and queues. Enterprise features include Multi-Zone High Availability, auto-upgrades, credential protection, eviction policies, daily backups, and metrics dashboards. A free tier supports prototypes, while Pro and Enterprise plans add security, isolation, and dedicated support.
