I feel like a hosted Redis instance doesn't offer much unless you're using Redis for persistent data, which I suspect is a small proportion of the total number of Redis installs. Running Redis on a regular compute instance is easy!
- jaywalk 4y agoFor smaller operations that don't have "cattle" VMs, hosted Redis gives you the same upside as every other hosted service, which is that you're not adding additional VMs to maintain.
- nicoburns 4y agoIf you host on a service like Heroku, fly.io, or any service that supports container based hosting then you just point it at the Redis docker image and you're done. At most "maintenance" would consist of a cronjob to make it redeploy on a regular schedule (which would automatically deploy the latest version if you pick your docker base image correctly).
