If anyone needs serverless redis or is looking for a cheaper elasticache, please checkout upstash.com P.S. Not affiliated with them, just a proud user.

What is the latency you are seeing ?

From Mumbai, India the average is around 30 - 50 ms.

And from your hosted lambda functions ?

These are from my lambdas.

Hmm interesting.. and both the redis DB and the lambdas are in the same region?

the db is in japan, I’m using vpc peering.

Ah got it thanks I will try it out I was about to add caching to my app and was thinking of using ElastiCache but will start with upstash, good thing is that the connection is the same if I want to change it later 🙂

yep, it has support for both the rediss protocol and REST too, you can use EventBridge’s API Endpoints feature to publish as well.

O nice
