As many others pointed out before, Redis Labs did not create the project, they started to provide Redis as a hosted solution just like other cloud providers, and with time gained control.

Redis Labs is not the only contributors to the project, Tencent and AWS contribute as well.

For Redis Labs the open source license was a distribution channel which they benefited tremendously.

I'm not an AWS fanboy but they operate some hosted solution significantly better than the companies building the products, at least the core offerings, this is what happened with Elastic and MonogDB.

It is Redis Labs prerogative to change the license, but they can also build a product around Redis that will drive customers to them instead of AWS, an offering that will be hard to replicate.

IMHO making a business that is "reselling" server capacity that was bought from AWS and trying to make a profit, can come back and bite you.

Thank you for your reply. Your point about requirements is spot on. I guess that is the problem, requirements change pretty quickly for us, within few months and that makes commuting to a platform a bit more challenging.

I can align with that, given my own experience. Going back to your original point, of alignment, how does that work in practice, with a diverse team of different expertise and experience level?

How will this approach work with larger teams?
