The difference is that SSPL is a license that was written in bad faith with the explicit intent that people can't comply with the parts about running a hosted service.
See section 13, "Offering the Program as a Service". To comply with that you need to release all software used "to make the Program or modified version available as a service" under the SSPL.
For something like redis this includes: redis itself, the os you are using to host redis, the drivers and firmware for the hardware you are using to host redis, and more. Also your whole deployment stack up to and including the mouse drivers you use to click on the "deploy" button.
It is an absurd condition that effectively makes section 13 say "you can't offer a hosted version" and the OSI and FSF are right to reject that fig leaf of "it is like the agpl, but more".
