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 was in the exact same spot (only on render.com), where Redis seemed overkill, but a key-value store was needed.

So I created a Postgres Key Value Ruby library. https://github.com/berkes/postgres_key_value
