“meeting customers where they were”

I’m a total AWS fanboy, but even I cringe when I read that superficial, customer-centric sound bite. You know who meets people where they are? FOSS maintainers.

“Also as far as I know one of the lead committers to Redis is from AWS”

Conveniently cryptic, what does from AWS mean? Do they still work there? Did they specialize in log replication?

Disclosure: I work for AWS, but I don't work on Redis or managed services based on Redis.

Madelyn Olson, at present an AWS employee, is one of the members of the Redis core team [1]. The invitation was extended because she had "been actively involved in Redis development for several years, contributing numerous changes throughout Redis, including bug fixes and features."

Aren't FOSS maintainers famously "my way or the highway"?
