> Nuance Not any random ensemble of "Valkey contributors" that did async IO but AWS: One of those cloud providers Redis moved away from FOSS for. One year later, Valkey hasn't just survived – it's thriving! The Async I/O Threading model contribution from AWS unlocked 3x+ throughput by fundamentally changing how I/O threads work inside Redis. Bryan Cantrill on this: ... those open source companies that still harbor magical beliefs ... cloud services providers are emphatically not going to license your proprietary software. I mean, you knew that, right? ... The cloud services providers are currently re-proprietarizing all of computing – they are making their own CPUs for crying out loud! – reimplementing the bits of your software that they need in the name of the service that their customers want (and will pay for!) won't even move the needle in terms of their effort. https://bcantrill.dtrace.org/2018/12/14/open-source-confronts-its-midlife-crisis/ https://bcantrill.dtrace.org/2018/12/14/open-source-confront...
