Momento–The best Redis alternative for caching and messaging.

Stop spending your time managing clusters, migrate from Redis to Momento today.

Momento Advantages

Truly Serverless

With Momento Cache and Topics, you don’t have to pay for overprovisioned instances, manage nodes within clusters, deal with scaling hassles, or put up with any maintenance windows.

Drop-in Redis
Replacement Clients

Minimum updates to your existing codebase, but enhancements if you switch to native SDKS.

Cost-efficiency

Momento will save you time, money, and complexity. The pay-per-use model allows you to build a production grade chat app for a few dollars–and that’s if you don’t fit in our generous free tier.

Switching from Redis to Momento

When you opt for Momento, you create a cache with the console or API, and you’re ready to read and write data. This instantaneous setup allows you to focus on the application logic rather than spending time on managing infrastructure. To further ease the transition to Momento, we provide drop-in replacement clients for Redis. This means you can swap Redis with Momento with minimal changes to your codebase.
