ElastiCache

AWS ElastiCache is a fully managed in-memory data store and cache service that provides high-performance, low-latency, and scalable solutions for applications. It supports two popular open-source in-memory engines: Redis and Memcached. ElastiCache simplifies the setup, management, and maintenance of these engines, allowing developers to offload time-consuming tasks such as provisioning, patching, monitoring, and backups.
