I could relate to the comment on Redis.

  The only things I can see missing are automated Redis hosting by the platform.

There have been so many times I wanted some simple key value store which I do not have to bother about setting up and taking care of. Something like "ambient Redis". It's OK not to have crazy scaling promises. You just enable an API (maybe for a small fee) and just use it.

If and when you get big enough you switch to a setup you bother about setting up and taking care of.

Am I making sense to anyone?

I've been really loving Upstash's Redis offering. Scales down to $0/month and for my needs (1-3 ops per second) even their high availability Redis ends up being just a few bucks a month. Probably cheaper and certainly easier than spinning a simple instance up on my own, but with performance and uptime guarantees closer to one of the cloud managed Redis offerings which start at mid to high $10s per month
