> some of those profits are passed on to users too. valkey on aws is cheaper for customers too.

You must be joking.

Until the whole of AWS and GCP are open source, they're taking absurd margins on your business and locking you in.

not sure i follow, thats the whole cloud hosting model. yeah you can self host to avoid that but thats a whole another tangent.

If you are already locked in then whats the benfit of choosing redis from a pointy haired boss prespective.

Amazon and Google are pouring resources into reducing the fitness of the Redis project, pilfering insane revenues, yet not once has either offered to open source their own core platforms.

They're attacking another company that is powerless to defend itself.

And the community cheers it on.

How kind of them to ensure valkey remains "open" so you can continue to purchase it through their hyperscaler product. They'll get their margins through your other usage and they won't pass that along to the Redis project. They'll be keeping that for themselves.

Sucking the oxygen out of the room while they metastasize into every area of the economy they can grow into. Dumping on healthy markets like an invasive species. Then they buy up the shells of once healthy companies, lay off the workers, outsource the labor.

They're doing exactly the same thing to Valkey that they're doing to Redis, it's just more legal. Somehow Valkey is more successful because of it.
