Scaleway Managed Database for Redis is a cloud-hosted, Redis-compatible in-memory data store for application caching, sessions, user data and API responses. It is designed for developers and organizations that want managed provisioning, maintenance, scaling and security instead of operating the underlying infrastructure. European teams that need private networking and managed Redis clusters are the clearest fit, while teams seeking a free tier should look elsewhere.

The pricing structure offers seven node plans, billed per node per hour. RED1-MICRO costs €0.048 per node per hour with 2 vCPUs and 2 GB RAM. RED1-2XS is €0.075 with 3 vCPUs and 4 GB RAM; RED1-XS is €0.137 with 4 vCPUs and 8 GB RAM; RED1-S is €0.205 with 4 vCPUs and 12 GB RAM; RED1-M is €0.274 with 4 vCPUs and 16 GB RAM; RED1-L is €0.548 with 8 vCPUs and 32 GB RAM; and RED1-XL is €1.096 with 16 vCPUs and 64 GB RAM. The advertised starting price is €35 per month, with regional variation and tax applied separately. These choices support capacity planning, but per-node hourly billing requires attention when estimating cluster costs.

For infrastructure teams, the strongest fit comes from the service's operational and ecosystem coverage. Deployments can be standalone, high availability or clusters with three to six nodes, with horizontal and vertical scaling available. Redis snapshots support data persistence, while TLS-encrypted connections and Scaleway Private Networks address common connectivity and protection requirements. Management is available through the web interface, API and CLI, with Terraform and OpenTofu integrations for infrastructure workflows. Choose Scaleway when managed Redis, private networking and cluster configurations matter; choose an alternative if a free plan or simpler fixed-price budgeting is a priority.
