I'm wondering why vercel chose upstash vs cloudflare kv store? I've worked on very large deployments of cloudflare workers + kv store and the performance is amazing (and pricing). It would seem to me that upstash would add hops/latency vs cloudflare kv store?

I would guess for people who want Redis? As I recall Cloudflare KV is more limited and wouldn't be a suitable drop-in replacement.
Doesn't Cloudflare KV have to be used with Cloudflare Workers?
I believe, the implication was, that as Vercel's Edge is built on top of Cloudflare Workers, it could be more natural to integrate with Cloudflare's own KV offering.
