Redis Cloud
Managed Redis from Redis Inc., with a permanent free tier and active-active multi-region replication on the Pro plan.
- Caching
- Yes
- Essentials: from $0.007/hour, $5/month total. 250 MB-100 GB RAM and SSD, single DB.
- Not documented
Who it suits.
Teams that want Redis from the company that maintains it, with an on-demand hourly Essentials tier cheap enough to run a small production workload without committing to a fixed plan.
Consider something else if…
Multi-region active-active replication is needed on a small budget — that's a Pro-tier feature here, where a serverless competitor may price per-region replication into a lower-cost plan.
