Huge fan of RedisLabs, but I'm all for more managed Redis options.
NodeChef Redis Hosting is another option that makes it easy to deploy, operate, and scale Redis in the cloud.

Managed Redis on Google Cloud Platform

Re: Managed Redis on Google Cloud Platform
#12> Compatibility with the Redis protocol means you can migrate your applications with zero code changes. Does this mean they don't actually use Redis, but have an alternate implementation of the protocol? In such a case, wouldn't it be different it terms of performance when compared to the original one. Also, keeping up with new versions should be a major overhead. If Google is still doing an alternate implementation,…
It's the same with Aws elasticache. There is redis underneath, still, if you want to have all the features that they provide - scale in/out, replicas, etc, you'll need to have some tools around.
I would say yes, it's still different than using the original one, but that's the way it is when you use any managed service.

#13Too bad you still need to provision instance and reserve max capacity.
They had a chance to outcompete AWS by providing a truly serverless Redis-like service with no upfront commitment and pay-per-use.
That’s what I expected when I first heard that GCP is working on “Serverless Redis” a year ago.

Ya, that's not serverless by any definition of the word. It's "managed" redis.

Where do you read you have to provision instances? I have to choose between Basic and Standard. But there‘s no clear indication that i have to select an instance based on my storage requirements. The pricing information does not indicate different instances for the different storage requirements, it could be, but would not really fit how the rest of gcp works.

Will be different, yes, but in the same way any two instances of "real" Redis will be different.
Hardware, networking, routing, load balancing, memory and disk IO, number of instances, backups/failovers etc. are going to be deciding overall performance rather than the Redis binary itself.

The lowest tier says min 1GB. So I guess it starts from $35.77/mo, even if your app doesn’t need the whole 1GB.

Yes, but that‘s no indication you have to provision an instance (not serverless). Google just decided that their granularity for billing is 1GB, like aws lambda and google cloud functions are billed in second granularity and not milliseconds.

According to your definition Heroku is serverless.
Serverless widely understood as:
1. not having to deal with instances/dynos/droplets/etc.
2. Pay-per-use, no upfront payment for unused capacity
Some calling AWS DynamoDB - serverless, but having to pay for reserved capacity for each table and index, make it a bad fit for the rest of serverless stack like AWS lambda or API Gateway or even S3.
