```Both Redis Software and [Redis Cloud](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rc) are compatible with Redis Open Source. 

Redis contributes extensively to the Redis project and uses it inside of Redis Software and Redis Cloud. As a rule, we adhere to the project's specifications and update both products with the latest version of Redis.
