UpstashUpstash provides serverless Redis, Kafka, and vector database services with per-request pricing and zero operational overhead. Redis supports global replication for edge computing. Kafka offers pay-per-message event streaming. QStash provides HTTP-based message queues for serverless. Features REST APIs alongside native protocols, ideal for edge and serverless deployments. Integrates with Vercel, Cloudflare Workers, and AWS Lambda natively.MCP InspectorMCP Inspector is the official interactive developer tool from the Model Context Protocol team for testing, debugging, and validating MCP servers. It provides a visual interface to inspect available tools, test transport configurations, export configs for different clients, and verify protocol compliance during MCP server development.MCP-ScanMCP-Scan is a security tool that scans MCP servers for vulnerabilities including tool poisoning, prompt injection, cross-origin escalation, and rug pull attacks. Acquired by Snyk in 2026, it is the first dedicated security scanner for the MCP ecosystem. It analyzes tool descriptions, permissions, and behavior patterns to detect malicious or compromised MCP servers before they can exploit AI agents.NeonServerless Postgres platform separating storage and compute for branching, autoscaling, read replicas, instant restore, and scale-to-zero workloads. Neon works with standard PostgreSQL clients and ORMs, supports extensions such as pgvector, and sits inside a broader Neon backend platform with Auth, Data API, Functions, Object Storage, and AI Gateway features.SupabaseOpen-source Firebase alternative providing a full backend-as-a-service on PostgreSQL. Auto-generated REST and GraphQL APIs from your schema, real-time subscriptions, built-in auth with 20+ social providers and Row Level Security, S3-compatible file storage with CDN, and Deno-powered Edge Functions.
