How often were people migrating from AWS Redis to Redis Cloud in the first place? I'm guessing not a lot.

+1. Not a lot, I'd guess. Every time I've used Redis (or ValKey in more recent times), latency more than 20ms or so would have been terrible.

I've seen workloads perform better without caching at all at 30ms
