Cinch is in public alpha.
// PRODUCT
ALPHACinch Cache
Redis-compatible cache. Instant creation, auto-stop when idle, 90% cheaper.

PROTOCOL
Redis-compatible
RESP protocol. Use any Redis client — Python, Node.js, Go, Java, Rust. Strings, hashes, lists, sets, sorted sets, pub/sub, and more.
ARCHITECTURE
RAM performance, NVMe persistence
NVMe-backed with tunable RAM buffer. Sleep when idle, wake on demand.
ISOLATION
One database per workload
Every cache is a separate file. No shared state, no key prefix hacks. Real isolation between tenants, agents, environments.
ECONOMICS
90% cheaper than Redis Cloud
NVMe costs 20x less than RAM per GB. Idle caches archive to cloud storage at $0.20/GB/mo. Active caches run on NVMe at $0.50/GB/mo.
How Cinch Cache compares
| Feature | ElastiCache | Upstash Dedicated | Redis Cloud | Cinch |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Scale to zero | No | No | No | Yes |
| Per-workload isolation | Per-instance | Per-database | Per-instance | Per-file |
| Creation time | Minutes | Seconds | Minutes | Milliseconds |
| 1GB idle cost/mo | ~$15 | ~$20 | ~$7 | ~$0.20 |
| 1GB active cost/mo | ~$15 | ~$20 | ~$7 | ~$0.50 |
Start caching in seconds
Same Redis commands. Same client libraries. Different economics.
