Description

Upstash provides a comprehensive serverless data platform tailored for modern application development, particularly within serverless and edge computing environments. It simplifies data management by offering managed services like a Redis-compatible database, a Vector database for similarity searches, the QStash message queue, and Workflow orchestration, eliminating the need for server provisioning or maintenance. The platform guarantees high availability with a 99.99% uptime SLA and automatically scales resources to meet application demands.

Designed for performance and global reach, Upstash ensures low latency access worldwide through multi-region replication options. Developers can interact with Upstash services using standard clients (like the Redis protocol) or via HTTP/REST APIs, making it highly compatible with environments such as Vercel Edge, Cloudflare Workers, and Fastly Edge. It features durable, persistent storage options with automatic backups, combining in-memory speed with data safety. The platform operates on a flexible pricing model, including a free tier and pay-as-you-go options, allowing users to start small and scale cost-effectively.
