Redis is still 'free as in beer',
unless you are operating a bar and want to profit off of the free beer someone else produced,
then it's not 'open source',
but somehow you can still get the source as it remains 'source available'.
I'm not trying to justify netlify, because it's pretty obvious all cloud providers have vile intentions here (even though they pretend otherwise): it's obvious that total majority of use cases for such platforms are toy or small-scale projects, and literally everyone in this market would prefer their website being shut down, rather than getting $100K (or even $5K) bill, BUT…
1 million downloads (= visits) is nothing for "going viral overnight"
