No, it doesn’t mean you need to open source your commercial product if it uses Redis. AGPLV3 doesn’t work like that. You need to open source your changes to Redis if you make any, and if your product is distributed through a network.

I am pretty sure that AGPL makes you distribute your changes to your users, not to Redis.

Classic operator precedence confusion. The phrase is well written, though:

You need (to open source) (your changes to Redis)

I.e. "you need to open source [your changes (that you have made) to the Redis codebase]"
