What Is Changing?
Thanks to recent infrastructure improvements, we're increasing three core Upstash Redis limits by 10x — while maintaining the same high standards of performance and reliability. These increases are rolling out across all plans, including Free and Pay-as-You-Go.
This is the second time in two months we've raised our Redis limits.
New vs. Old Limits
| Limit | Old | New |
|---|---|---|
| Max throughput (TPS) | 1k | 10k |
| Max request size | 1MB | 10MB |
| Max concurrent connections | 1k | 10k |
All plans that previously had lower limits — including Free, Pay-as-You-Go, and Fixed Plans — will now have the new higher limits.
Why the Increase?
Month over month, Upstash Redis is powering more production workloads than ever: high concurrency, large payloads, and large-scale user traffic. The old limits occasionally became bottlenecks.
We want Upstash to be the go-to platform for building serious, high-quality software — whether you're shipping a weekend side project or scaling to millions of users.
These new limits reflect the platform we're building: high performance, zero infrastructure to manage, and the ability to grow with you.
No Action Required
The new limits apply automatically to all existing and future databases. No config changes required. No downtime.
Need Even More?
By increasing throughput, request size, and connection limits, we're making it easy to start small and scale as you grow — without paying for what you don't use. These new changes are designed to support all use cases, from small startups to large enterprises.
If you need even higher limits, get in touch and we'll set you up with a custom plan.
