Amazon ElastiCache Overview

What is Amazon ElastiCache?

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.

What do you like best about Amazon ElastiCache?

Elasticache is fully managed cache service . I have integrated my app with dynamo dB and elasticache with redis caching engine which made my app super fast on the data that was frequently accessed . Elasticache supports hashes ,sets aswell this I loved most , without elasticache if I want to use caching on dynamo dB I would have used redis but that would be really difficult for me to deploy and maintain.

Simple and easy to setup

Dynamodb accelerator also does the same but it is specific to dynamo dB but elasticache can be used with multiple data stores. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon ElastiCache?

It is really expensive.

It is only compatible with AWS databases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Amazon ElastiCache solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have used caching with redis in my application with dynamodb . Elasticache is fully managed in memory caching service and I don't need to deploy or monitor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about AWS Cloud?

They offere verything at overpriced cost we did Elastic Serach hosting 10K a month moved away from aws cost is 800 a month at better perfomance, someone got access to a key at somepoint we rotated but the account kept getting comprosied and missused we raised 30 tickets to AWS no one care and end up us leaving as a billg over 60K came due to this, where as we didn't consume any of the 60K and again aws didn't care at all... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Cloud?

If you like to pay 10X more for nothing, get no support or pay for a support that goes in circle go for AWS.... we moved to GCP instead which is 10X better... AWS wonder why people uses it? Burning VC money maybe. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AWS Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

Looks good on paper, but oh boy they have the worst support and will not care at all... and once you got a problem they dont care at all! I will never use them again Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Amazon ElastiCache?

ElasticCache (for Redis) is simple to set up, reasonably priced, and very easy to use with modern development languages. The Redis version supports all the open-source features as well as clustering, upward scaling, and serverless architecture. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon ElastiCache?

It's hard to scale down if you need to, and the lowest scale is a bit pricey for smaller organizations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Amazon ElastiCache solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use Redis Elastic Cache as a memory store for short and medium-lived key-value data. Using Elasticache also allows us to have a multi-node cluster so we can be sure we are always up and running. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
