    My thoughts exactly. The news last year was what I needed to finally get off of Redis Cloud, and with AWS offering Valkey Serverless, we were able to make the costs work out to save money.

      wait… so to get this straight, you were paying Redis, a company that creates an open source project, for their offerings in order to keep funding them. When they changed their license so that their business wouldn’t be cannibalized by AWS (who was modifying Redis under the hood, not contributing it back to the community, and then pricing it lower) instead of continuing to pay Redis who’s license change wouldn’t have affected you at all, you instead started paying AWS for a project they started in order to avoid paying for open source code they were using.

      you do realize this is a walmart situation right?
