Amazon ElastiCache
- Managed in-memory caching service supporting Redis and Memcached.
- Provides high performance and low latency data access.
- Offloads read-heavy workloads from databases, reducing load and improving response times.
- Can help make applications stateless by storing session data in the cache.
- AWS handles:
- OS maintenance and patching
- Performance optimizations
- Setup and configuration
- Monitoring and failure recovery
- Backups (Redis only)
- Important: integrating ElastiCache usually requires significant application code changes to leverage the cache effectively.
