What does AOF stand for?

I found this page, saying

All paid plans have AOF enabled to log write operations every second as well as RDB backups to S3 daily or on-demand.

I know RDB means relational database, but what does AOF mean in this context?

Append-Only File

Because there are no seeks or re-writing, it is typically immune to corruption problems due to dirty shutdown.

Redis uses AOF for persistence, and has a good writeup of advantages/disadvantages in their use case: http://redis.io/topics/persistence

Append Only File

the AOF persistence logs every write operation received by the server, that will be played again at server startup, reconstructing the original dataset. Commands are logged using the same format as the Redis protocol itself, in an append-only fashion. Redis is able to rewrite the log on background when it gets too big.
