Overview
Upstash provides serverless data platforms including Redis and Kafka, designed specifically for serverless and edge computing environments. Unlike traditional Redis, Upstash Redis offers a pay-per-request model with no connection limits, automatic scaling, and global replication. What makes Upstash special is its edge-optimized architecture - data is replicated globally for low-latency access from anywhere. The platform includes Upstash Redis (for caching, sessions, rate limiting) and Upstash Kafka (for event streaming and message queues). With features like durable storage, REST API access, and compatibility with Redis and Kafka protocols, it integrates seamlessly with existing tools. Upstash is perfect for serverless applications on Vercel, Netlify, or Cloudflare Workers where traditional databases don't work well. The platform offers true serverless pricing - you only pay for actual usage with generous free tiers. Ideal for edge functions, rate limiting, caching, session storage, and event-driven architectures in serverless environments.
