Summary
Fly.io has partnered with Upstash to launch a simple, global, low-latency Redis service. The integration enables users to deploy their applications and databases close to their users within minutes. This managed Redis service offers features like global read replicas, write forwarding for read-your-write consistency, and a generous free tier. Fly.io ensures that the VMs running apps are on the same hardware as the databases, minimizing latency. The integration also provides enhanced security by keeping Redis off the internet and allowing Upstash full control over their service without compromising customer app security.
