In March 2024, Redis abandoned BSD license for SSPL/RSALv2, neither OSI-approved. This 'forced AWS and GCP to create their own fork' (Valkey). Core contributors migrated to forks. Redis 8 (2025) added AGPLv3 option but damage to trust was done.
Redis stores data in-memory, and 'having all data in memory can be very expensive.' Large datasets requiring low latency face steep costs. Users report 'difficulty scaling Redis without it becoming prohibitively expensive.' Memory costs compound quickly.
Redis Cloud Pro starts at $0.881/hour rather than fixed monthly. 'Real-time data workloads spike with launches, shrink when retired, and swing with usage patterns.' Costs can be unpredictable for variable workloads.
