ElastiCache AWS को managed in-memory caching service हो — Redis वा Memcached चलाएर बारम्बार पहुँच गरिने डेटा cache गर्छ द्रुत पुनःप्राप्तिको लागि। अन्य caching layers (CloudFront, DAX) सँग संयोजनमा, caching AWS application performance सुधार गर्न र database load घटाउन मुख्य प्रविधि हो।
ElastiCache — managed in-memory caching
ElastiCache runs managed REDIS or MEMCACHED clusters:
→ store frequently-accessed data in memory → sub-millisecond retrieval (very fast)
→ REDUCE LOAD on databases (serve from cache instead of querying the DB)
→ AWS manages it (setup, patching, scaling, failover) — no servers to run
Redis → rich data structures, persistence, replication, HA (Multi-AZ) — the common choice
Memcached → simpler, multi-threaded, pure caching
