Founding Story
Ofer Bengal co-founded Redis Labs (now Redis Inc.) in 2011. Realizing that Salvatore's brilliant open-source code had absolutely no enterprise-grade management or high-availability features, Bengal built a massive commercial company around it, successfully monetizing the world's most popular open-source database.
