This is what web hosting companies have been doing for many years. It's not new to AWS or cloud computing. There's an entire industry built up around running and maintaining open source software for customers. Redis Labs itself is part of that industry, selling a service called "Redis Enterprise Cloud". I imagine that somewhere in that stack they're using open source software that they don't contribute to, don't you?
- kemitchell 8y ago> Redis Labs itself is part of that industry, selling a service called "Redis Enterprise Cloud". Correct. But Redis Labs very visibly and substantially funds development of the BSD-licensed Redis core database. Some of "open source hosting" companies did the same. I always think of Heroku hiring Matz, as an example.
