Global Latency Benchmark for Serverless Redis

This single page application shows the latency for three different Upstash set up:
- Single Region Database in AWS US-West, edge caching disabled
- Single Region Database in AWS US-West, edge caching enabled
- Global database, edge caching disabled

We have implemented an AWS Lambda function which reads a value from an Upstash database using the REST API. We have deployed this function to 8 different regions all over the world.

This page calls the 8 Lambda functions and each function makes three requests to the database. First request has Edge Caching enabled, the second one is without Edge Caching, third one is onto the Global database. Each function records the latencies of both requests.

Here the latency of your request:⟳

Database Region:US West (N. California)
Global Database Regions:US West (Oregon), US East (N. Virginia), South America (São Paulo), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Europe (Frankfurt)

Client Region	Latency - Edge Disabled	Latency - Edge Enabled	Latency - Global
US West (N. California)	? ms	? ms	? ms
US West (Oregon)	? ms	? ms	? ms
US East (N. Virginia)	? ms	? ms	? ms
South America (São Paulo)	? ms	? ms	? ms
Asia Pacific (Hong Kong)	? ms	? ms	? ms
Asia Pacific (Tokyo)	? ms	? ms	? ms
Europe (Ireland)	? ms	? ms	? ms
Europe (Frankfurt)	? ms	? ms	? ms

As the distance between the server and the client increases, the impact of edge caching increases. See the blog post for the details.
