Upstash

Serverless Redis, Kafka, and QStash for modern applications

Live preview of upstash.com

Overview

Upstash brings the serverless pricing model to Redis, Kafka, and message queuing. You pay per request rather than for provisioned capacity, which aligns perfectly with serverless and edge computing architectures where traffic is variable and unpredictable.

The global replication feature distributes your Redis data across multiple regions. Read requests are served from the nearest replica, producing single-digit millisecond latency regardless of where your users are. For edge-deployed applications, this is essential.

QStash, Upstash's serverless message queue, solves a common serverless challenge: reliable background job processing. Queue messages with guaranteed delivery, scheduled execution, and automatic retries - without managing queue infrastructure.
