Redis Sponsors

Between 2015 to June 2020, the work Salvatore Sanfilippo was doing in order to develop Redis was sponsored by Redis Ltd. As of June 2020, Redis Ltd. sponsors the Redis project governance.

Past sponsorships:

• The Shuttleworth Foundation donated 5000 USD to the Redis project in form of a flash grant. The details will be posted soon on a blog post documenting how the money was used.

redis.io

Citrusbyte sponsored the creation of the official Redis logo (designed by Carlos Prioglio) and transferred its copyright to Salvatore Sanfilippo.

The redis.io domain was donated for a few years to the project by I Want My Name.
