MemoryDB is now available in the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions

Posted on: Oct 18, 2024

Today, AWS announces the availability of Amazon MemoryDB in the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions. Amazon MemoryDB is a fully managed, Valkey and Redis OSS-compatible database for in-memory performance and multi-AZ durability. Customers in GovCloud regions can now use MemoryDB as a primary database for use cases that require ultra-fast performance and durable storage, such as payment card analytics, message streaming between microservices, and IoT events processing. With Amazon MemoryDB, all of your data is stored in memory, which enables you to achieve microsecond read and single-digit millisecond write latency and high throughput. Amazon MemoryDB also stores data durably across multiple Availability Zones (AZs) using a Multi-AZ transactional log to enable fast failover, database recovery, and node restarts. Delivering both in-memory performance and Multi-AZ durability, Amazon MemoryDB can be used as a high-performance primary database for your microservices applications eliminating the need to separately manage both a cache and durable database.

To get started, you can create an Amazon MemoryDB cluster in minutes through the AWS Management Console, AWS Command Line Interface (CLI), or AWS Software Development Kit (SDK). To learn more, visit the Amazon MemoryDB product page or documentation.
