Upstash
Serverless data for Redis and Kafka.
Founded in 2020, Upstash solved a major bottleneck in serverless application environments like Cloudflare Workers and Vercel edge functions. Traditional databases keep long-lived connections open, which breaks serverless structures. Upstash built HTTP-based serverless data access paths with scaling properties that automatically drop to cost zero when inactive.
