They'll have a lot of room to undercut http://redistogo.com/, which is crazy overpriced (if you ask me)

uhhh those prices have to be a joke? I'm running several 16 GIG redis instances, I'd be in the poor house. haha

100 mb for $25??? ha

No joke. They've been Heroku add-on for a long time too.

Boring. The best heroku-addon remains the memcached-addon. It makes me laugh out loud every time I hear about it.

50GB instance for... $3500 USD/month.

But hey, it's on a "fully managed server". Racked on a persian rug. Gold-plated with laser-gravure of your choice. Polished daily by a dedicated english butler.

These prices... must be a joke right?

Seriously, what? Why can't I get a 512 MB vhost for $20/mo? Is the convenience of not having to type apt-get install redis-server worth the extra $90/mo?
