The ceiling is the price it costs a user to install Redis on a VM and use that instead. This seems … fair?

- Spivak 3y agoNo it isn't, have you met managed cloud services? The price of running it on a VM is the floor.
- acdha 3y agoThe price of running it on a VM _including_ your real cost of supporting it is the ceiling. My point is simply that if a licensing change meant that a cloud provider had to pass on extra costs, there is a natural feedback mechanism. If AWS ElastiCache prices doubled, a lot of people would be doing the math versus whatever they pay for labor. There’s some room to grow there but it’s not infinite.
