Yup, that's pretty much right. TBH, the Redis Cloud costs were pretty exorbitant for the tier we were on before the changes, and there had been internal discussion on moving away from them. AWS Valkey Serverless offering is significantly less expensive for the workload we needed across the hosted options, it didn't make sense to continue paying double for Redis Cloud. If Redis' goal with the license change was to get AWS to make it's own thing, then I guess mission accomplished, but they threw the baby out with the bathwater IMO. Developers have jumped to Valkey, and it will take time to win them back, if that's possible.
