“ The Upstash JS SDK is incredibly easy to use – all I needed to do was run npm install, initialize the Redis instance, and start running redis commands – super simple! As for performance – our links have sub 200ms redirect times, thanks to Upstash! ”Steven TeyFounderRead more“ Developer experience became significantly better than what we experienced with traditional cloud service providers. The observability improvements alone were game-changing for our small team. ”PingrenFounding Software EngineerRead more“ Since day one we haven't had to worry about traffic peaks. The interface is a pleasure to use and support has been amazing, especially when we hit limits. ”Moein AkbarofApplication architectRead more“ At our scale, it's important to use the right tool for the right workload. Upstash lets us power low-latency edge use cases globally, while still keeping our overall architecture simple and cost-effective. ”Lakshan PereraEngineering LeadRead more“ We chose Upstash specifically because it offers an HTTP interface for Redis, which perfectly suited our needs ”Ben BiranEngineering ManagerRead more“ Performance and scalability just work, and the QStash DX is our favorite part ”Ryan DowningEngineering LeadRead more“ We've been working closely together on improving alerting across their clusters, and it feels less like using a vendor and more like building the future of edge infrastructure together. ”Javier Z.Head of PlatformRead more“ We were using Redis before for our cache but we saw great support from the Upstash team when we grew to handle more conversations and had difficulty keeping up with the growth. Upstash was there to help and within a few minutes we had the expanded capacity we needed. ”Stephen WeessiesSoftware EngineerRead more“ Upstash's global Redis has been a game changer. Low latency, zero downtime, and easy to use across frontend and backend. With brilliant customer service and fast response times, we deliver the best shopping experience. ”Nish PatelBusiness System ArchitectRead more“ Upstash was the only platform that let us coordinate real-time webhooks, background jobs, and bulk syncs under shared rate limits, without artificial concurrency ceilings or compute lock-in. ”Adam SkjervoldFounderRead more“ Before Upstash we used Redis Cloud. This was not serverless, you had to think about instance size, memory usage etc. which we really don't want to do as it pulls our focus from product engineering, any time spent on operations like this is less time spent on our products and what differentiates Branch. ”Adithya ReddySoftware Engineering ManagerRead more“ Before Upstash QStash, we struggled with upload reliability and request failures, but with their support, we’ve achieved over 99.9% reliability for millions of users. Their seamless integration with our serverless architecture has made developing new features, like importing entire knowledge bases, much simpler. ”Dan RasmusonCTO and Co-FounderRead more“ Upstash has been an amazing solution for our engineering team! We spent a long time trying to find a reliable and scalable queueing platform. We were delighted to come across QStash because they had a really smooth DX and their team shipped a feature to support our requirements within a day. We're now customers of QStash, Redis, and Vector. ”Ishan GuptaCo-founder“ The ability to exceed the resident memory of the machine that Upstash has built opens up more possibilities, and allows reading and writing directly to Redis and skipping the middle-man ”Emery DenuccioSoftware EngineerRead more“ Upstash service has been bulletproof, with almost zero issues, and their support team is some of the most incredible people. They helped us troubleshoot issues down to the code level ”Terence PaeCTO, Co-FounderRead more“ Upstash has not only replaced our need for traditional Redis clusters but also enhanced our ability to scale while maintaining cost efficiency, making it an integral part of our tech stack. ”Mehmet Ali PekerCo-FounderRead more
