So they are aquiring a company composed of: 1) brand goodwill 2) customers 3) technology 4) employees

Apparently the first two were not worth much and it was even more valuable to create significant negative reputation for Redis Cloud by damaging both.

We can safely put Garantia in the category of "couldn't care less about customers."
