#42Please rename to: "Hosted Redis" Right now it sounds as if it's a redis competitor, aka clickbait

#43Not sure what products they are offering, but redis changed the licenses for certain modules to prevent competition https://techcrunch.com/2019/02/21/redis-labs-changes-its-ope...
same question for me - does Render have a cloud license that allows them to offer Redis ?

#44This is the first time I’ve read “Zero DevOps” as a product feature, but it seems like a pretty good selling point.
Why people choose to write CI pipelines in Yaml as a living (aka DevOps Engineer) I will never understand. Its horrible.
It's the easiest part of my job. It's just YAML indicating steps. Each step is a "thing to do". There's really no magic to it or terror or discomfort.

#45Redis in docker, Kubernetes is almost zero config as it is. For small stuff anyway. For big stuff, would it not be a massive drag not having it proximal to your app serve we a?
In what world is Kubernetes zero config?
I think GP means adding a redis container to an existing k8s cluster. Which I suppose, especially without persistence or HA, is not much more than specifying the image.

#46May I ask what the benefit of this is vs spinning up your own Redis server? An equivalent solution would be to spin up a $5 droplet on DO, do basic due diligence wrt security (lock down ssh, firewall, etc.) and you end up with more memory, more connections, for less money. I realize I'm a Luddite, in the field of DevOps. Is it just the benefit of not needing to maintain the server?
Correct — the benefit is that I don’t have to know or care about your second paragraph.

Render is a platform as a service type offering like Heroku. Folks interested in self-hosting aren't the target audience for this.

Yes, and the convenience of not needing to know how to maintain the server. You can point a person with a different type of experience at this problem.

#49(Render founder) Hi HN, we built our managed Redis service for people who already use Render to host their apps. You can of course use it from outside Render, but ideally you'd use the Redis internal URL (e.g. redis://red-longuniqueidhere:6379) in your code that's also running on Render.
Hi, love what Render are doing, the one thing holding me back from migrating to you from Heroku is Postgres “point in time” backup restore using the write ahead log. Having used it just once before with Heroku it’s indispensable. The minute you add it we will be making the move.
I know it’s on your radar but just want to give a nudge.

#50We've been using https://upstash.com/ which charges per request, but has a nice SDK that allows easy Redis connections in Cloudflare Worker & AWS Lambda environments. It's been a very nice experience so far.
Are there are any good open source libraries that use REST connections to Redis so you can use it in "serverless" environments?
