What is ElastiCache? - Features

This article is a summary of what Darcy has learned about ElastiCache.

 

What is ElastiCache?

Fully managed (diskless) in-memory DB.

In-memory DB is a DB that reads and writes data in memory without using a disk to speed up DB processing.

 

When should I use ElastiCache (use cases)?

• 
  Implementing rankings and recommendations (purchase history display)
  When doing
• If you have used RDS read replicas to speed up the read speed, but want to make the response faster.
  • Runs faster than a read replica
• If you also want faster DB write speeds
• If you want to maintain session credit card billing during auto-scaling
  • If you want to manage outside of sticky sessions
• If you want to process user behavior data at high speed

Types of ElastiCache

The following types of ElastiCache exist. Each has its own characteristics and must be used accordingly.

• Redis
• Memcached

Improve DB performance of web applications by allowing them to retrieve information from a fast, managed in-memory data store.

 

Where are they often placed on a configuration diagram?

Often placed in front of RDS or DynamoDB.

 

What can ElastiCach do for you?

ElastiCache allows you to save sessions and frequent DB queries to reduce
web page read time by saving sessions and frequent DB queries
and reduce the time to read web pages.
