as much as I dislike the hyperscalers parasitising open source...

"redis ltd" the company did not originate redis

"redis ltd" was originally "Garantia Data": a company that offered hosted redis as a service

fundamentally they are/were doing the same thing as AWS/Google: taking an existing open source product they did not originate, and selling hosting for it

they may have hired its creator (several years after he wrote it), and since then changed their name to "redis", but they're not any different to GCP/AWS

other than the complaining about others more successful business models

this is very different to e.g. sentry
