If I'm understanding the changes Redis made, it's FOSS until you decide you want to use their server to create a cloud service offering. Am I mistaken?

Then it isn't FOSS, because it violates freedom 0: The freedom to run the program as you wish
That's my view of FOSS as well; was asking for clarification on that.
It still is, you just have to publish the whole derived work that you created under the SSPL - not just the source to create redis.exe but also the whole source to create the backend of myhostedredisservice.com
