Amazon ElastiCache features

Why Amazon ElastiCache?

Amazon ElastiCache is a fully managed, Valkey-, Memcached-, and Redis OSS-compatible service that delivers real-time, cost-optimized performance, and up to 99.99% high availability for modern applications. ElastiCache is ideal for high-performance use cases such as data caching, web, mobile apps, healthcare apps, financial apps, gaming, ad-tech, IoT, media streaming, session stores, leaderboards, machine learning (ML), and microservices-based applications. Refer to our Amazon ElastiCache use cases to learn how ElastiCache can help.

ElastiCache speeds up database and application performance, scaling to hundreds of trillions of requests per day with microsecond response time. Benefits include enhanced security, reliability, scalability, and performance when compared to open source alternatives. It also unlocks cost savings for read-heavy workloads and provides cost-optimization features such as data tiering for memory-intensive workloads.  

ElastiCache now supports Valkey, which is an open source project that is a drop in replacement of Redis OSS, and is priced up to 33% lower than other supported engines.
