Sorry for the lack of follow-up, but there's a reason we were just evaluating. Nothing was forcing us to use redis-cloud in particular.

In fact, nothing was forcing us to use any sort of Redis in the cloud, which is good, because my conclusion is that nobody has a satisfactory solution for it. It's not just your service. It's not just Amazon either. Nobody has figured out Redis in the cloud.

Redis is designed to be a high-performance, in-memory data store. All "Redis in the cloud" offerings turn it into a low-performance data store that feels more like a database, and that defeats the point.

If you figure it out, let me know... but I'll want to be able to run redis-benchmark.
