A Redis Hosting Option for Heroku Users

Heroku has discontinued its free platform support for Redis, which may discourage developers who have depended on it. However, Redis offers several ways to add continued support, including a starting plan far cheaper than Heroku Redis. Redis Enterprise is the commercial version of Redis and includes free and paid plans with enhanced capabilities at a lower cost compared to other providers. It supports native JSON compatibility, search and secondary indexing capability, graph capability, time series capability, enhanced probabilistic data structures, high availability by default, global distribution across regions, and support for terabytes of datasets on AWS, GCP, and Azure. Redis Enterprise is suitable for students, startups, and large enterprises with custom Redis needs.
