Amazon ElastiCache is a web service that makes it easy to deploy and run server nodes compliant with Memcached or Redis protocols in the cloud. Amazon ElastiCache improves web application performance by enabling the retrieval of information from a fast managed in-memory system without relying entirely on slod disk-based databases. This service simplifies the management, monitoring, and operation of the in-memory environment and reduces the load so that engineering resources can be concentrated on application development. With Amazon ElastiCache, you can improve the loading and response times of user actions and queries, as well as reduce the costs associated with scaling web applications.
