Heroku's own redis addon[1] has a comparable free tier and while I can't be certain, I'm pretty sure it's been beefed up recently, as I just had to migrate away from RedisToGo and I would have chosen Heroku's own addon over RedisToGo originally unless there was a compelling reason not to.

- mbreese 4y agoThen maybe that’s why this service is shutting down? It was supposed to be a loss-leader, hooking people with a free tier. But now instead of getting more people to sign up and convert to paying customers, it’s just a drain?
- glenngillen 4y agoThis redis add-on was the original one, developed by Heroku and then spun out and handed over to a different team to operate. It’s been running successfully for something like 12 years. Has been acquired/changed owner 3 times. Has withstood the numerous challenges from competitors in what is arguably one of the most competitive parts of the add-on ecosystem. It has been successful and had its time. To suggest this has anything to do with it having a free tier is to not understand the trajectory of the business at all.
- dryreveal 4y agoI've been hit by this too. Can anyone advise how to migrate from Redis toGo to Heroku Redis? Perhaps its as simple as uninstalling redis-to-go and installing e.g. something like heroku addons:destroy redistogo heroku addons:create heroku-redis:hobby-dev -a your-app-name See my SO question for this - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/72695052/migrating-from-heroku-redis-togo-to-heroku-redis https://stackoverflow.com/questions/72695052/migrating-from-...
