Redis Ltd was founded under the name Garantia Data in 2011 by Ofer Bengal, previously the founder and CEO of RiT Technologies, and Yiftach Shoolman, previously the founder and president of Crescendo Networks, acquired by F5 Networks.
In June 2012, the company announced a beta version of its cloud services at GigaOm's Structure LaunchPad. Redis Enterprise Cloud became generally available in February 2013.
In October 2013, Garantia Data acquired MyRedis, a competing hosted Redis provider. On January 29, 2014, the company changed its name from Garantia Data to Redis Labs.
In early 2015, Redis Labs made available the Redis Enterprise Pack. On July 15, 2015, the creator of Redis and lead developer, Salvatore Sanfilippo, joined Redis Labs and they became the official sponsor of the open source project.
In May 2016, the company announced a mechanism for developers to extend Redis, and opened an online marketplace that offers modules certified to work with both open source Redis and Redis' Enterprise products.
In August 2018, the company changed the license of its Redis modules from AGPL to Apache2 modified with Commons Clause.
In February 2019, the company changed the license of Redis modules to Redis Source Available License (RSAL).
