Amazon ElastiCache is a fully managed service that makes it easy to deploy, operate, and scale an in-memory data store and cache in the cloud. Often working in conjunction with other AWS database and storage services, ElastiCache ensures modern applications meet real-time requirements for high data throughput and sub-milli second response times, while serving millions of simultaneous requests. Amazon ElastiCache supports two open-source in-memory engines:

o Redis – a fast, open source, in-memory data store and cache. Amazon ElastiCache for Redis is a Redis-compatible in-memory service that delivers the ease-of-use and power of Redis along with the availability, reliability and performance suitable for the most demanding applications. ElastiCache for Redis is fully managed, scalable, and secure – making it an ideal candidate to power high-performance use cases such as Web, Mobile Apps, Gaming, Ad-Tech, and IoT.
o Memcached – a widely adopted memory object caching system. Amazon ElastiCache for Memcached is protocol compliant with Memcached, so popular tools that you use today with existing Memcached environments will work seamlessly with the service. ElastiCache for Memcached is suitable for caching use cases where performance and concurrency is important.

Boost the performance of our Redis cluster

What do you like best?

Not much modification required to move our existing redis cluster onto the Amazon ElastiCache. What I love the most is Multi-AZ failsafe architecture available to set up our Redis cluster here. Also it is very fast and easy to manage through the AWS console.

What do you dislike?

Not complaining, but it feels the pricing structure for the usage is pretty high.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

Initially we had our redis cluster set up on a single EC2 instance. Since it is a startup we couldn't afford a bigger instance at that time. So everyday during our peak times the instance used to fail due to overload. We had a trial run with moving the redis cluster to Amazon ElastiCache and use the multi-AZ failsafe architecture. Initially it was a 3 node failsafe architecture. Right out of the bat, it was a hit. We immediately moved our production cluster on to it and never got to worry about it any other day.
