About

Upstash is a serverless data platform built for modern applications that need low-latency, globally distributed data services without managing infrastructure. It provides HTTP-based and Redis-compatible APIs for key-value storage, messaging, vector search, workflow automation, and search.

The platform is designed for edge and serverless environments, with automatic scaling, multi-region replication, persistence, and strong availability. Developers can use it to power caching, session management, rate limiting, leaderboards, chat, and other data-intensive application patterns.

  • Serverless Redis with REST and Redis protocol access
  • Vector, QStash, Workflow, Search, and Box products
  • Global replication and low-latency access across regions
  • Automatic scaling, persistence, and backups
  • Built for edge platforms such as Vercel, Cloudflare Workers, and Fastly

Upstash’s pricing page shows a Free plan with 256 MB data size and 500K monthly commands, plus free bandwidth, so this is a capped recurring free tier rather than an unbounded always-free offer. The cheapest paid plan that exceeds the free cap is Pay as you go at $0.2 per 100K commands and $0.25 per GB storage; however, the free tier already includes the core paid-metered dimensions, so the conservative FTV is $0/month beyond the included free allowances. No credit or trial amount is shown on the page, and signup is via console login/start-now flow, so no_cc_required is false.
