Ease and speed to deploy redis infrastructure, requires zero maintenance once provisioned Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Little to dislike, but if possible it would be good to have more metrics to aid in monitoring and alerting Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's always available. We haven't had any downtime or management woes since launch! It's also very fast. It's been a big win using this instead of hosting our own Redis cluster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's a bit rigid when it comes to upgrades. Updating versions or hardware requires some manual orchestration. Setting up the cluster is also a bit unintuitive from a UI perspective, but that's solved by using Terraform anyway! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Simplicity, highly scalable and completely managed Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Amazon ElastiCache is a fully managed in-memory data store and cache service by Amazon Web Services (AWS). The service improves the performance of web applications by retrieving information from managed in-memory caches, instead of relying entirely on slower disk-based databases. ElastiCache supports two open-source in-memory caching engines: Memcached and Redis (also called “ElastiCache for Redis”).

As a web service running in the computing cloud, Amazon ElastiCache is designed to simplify the setup, operation, and scaling of memcached and Redis deployments. Complex administration processes like patching software, backing up and restoring data sets and dynamically adding or removing capabilities are managed automatically. Scaling ElastiCache resources can be performed by a single API call. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Redis on Elasticache does not directly support persistence (but it's do-able using the backup feature + or attaching a Redis Slave), so you run the risk of losing messages if the instance goes down. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not having to maintain a redis cluster but having the benefits of one in your VPC is godsend. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing to be honest. It works just like I would expect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Amazon elasticache is managed service provided by aws used as memcache and as redis server. It has in memory data store capability which helps us to store the data in memory and which act and response very fast. It make the web and applications very fast and decreased the time to miliseconds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

for java clients it support one dns per cluster which i can say main issue users face. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

By using cache appropriately, we were able to increase speed and performance of our API by using the cache for our most frequently accessed calls instead of going to the DB Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

diagnosing issues with the calls was not easy, maybe more training was required but it was not easy to figure out how to go about it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Love the scalability, easy to use, fast as usual. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Limited sharding, no command line access through AWS console. Be more proactive on update (v4 was skipped). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Setting up is easy and great response times. Used Terraform to setup and Lettuce client to communicate with the resource. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We were looking for a Client to use with Elasticache and were little disappointed not being able to use Amazon product directly and going to another third party client. This increases our product dependencies increasing risk. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Elasticache allowed us to free up resources on the Ops side and accelerate deployment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
