Amazon ElastiCache is an in-memory database service provided by AWS. By retaining frequently referenced data and data sets that require time to search in memory, it helps improve system performance. Amazon ElastiCache supports two types of engines: Redis and Memcached, so you can choose the most suitable engine depending on your system usage.

Amazon ElastiCache Features

● Managed service
Amazon ElastiCache is a managed service managed by AWS, so the steps necessary for deployment, management, and monitoring are automated, and it also supports data backup using snapshots. This eliminates the need for system administrators to perform configuration and maintenance themselves.

● High speed
Both Redis and Memcached can be used. Redis supports advanced data structures and provides functionality similar to an RDB (relational database). Memcached, on the other hand, provides a simple key-value store.

These datastores cache data in memory, thus speeding up database read operations. This allows your application to return fast and scalable responses.

● Automatic failure recovery
Because we have multiple nodes across multiple AZs (Availability Zones), there is no SPOF (Single Point of Failure). It also provides automatic disaster recovery, so if your data store goes down, it will automatically recover.

● Security
Amazon VPC allows you to place your data store on a private network, protecting it from unauthorized access over the Internet. Additionally, SSL/TLS encryption is supported.
