AWS did not launch their own spinoff alone, but instead joined the Valkey project by the Linux Foundation[0], alongside many other major contributors:

> Industry participants, including Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud, Oracle, Ericsson, and Snap Inc. are supporting Valkey. They are focused on making contributions that support the long-term health and viability of the project so that everyone can benefit from it.

Seems like a good alternative to a single company's spinoff: Many major providers working on this same project should result in everyone benefiting from it.

I don't have any inside knowledge, but I can't believe that they don't have an internal fork of Redis for Elasticache.
