There are multiple hosted Redis providers, not just Redis Labs and AWS.
I'm not sure why Redis OSS couldn't live on as open source product, while companies (including Redis Labs) offer managed Redis solutions.
- forty 3y agoIt's nearly impossible to compete with AWS on hosting. People host their stuff on AWS, it's so much easier to take the fully integrated solutions of AWS than a third party vendor that they have realistically no chance of competing. That plus the fact that a competitor wanting to sell to AWS customers would have to host their own offering on AWS for bandwidth cost and latency reasons, and being forced to pay a competitor to play is always a sign that unfair competition is going on. The rule of thumb is that you should be either be a platform or participate in the competition on that platform but never do both (applies to App Store, Amazon Marketplace, etc etc)
