In this blog post, we explain why you should consider moving your self-managed open source software (OSS) Redis workloads to managed Amazon ElastiCache for Redis. OSS Redis is a powerful, in-memory data store designed to meet the demands of modern high-performance applications. With OSS Redis, you can tackle a wide range of use-cases, including caching, […]

This is a guest post by Sagi Tsofan, Senior Software Engineer at Wiz in partnership with AWS. At Wiz, it’s all about scale. Our platform ingests metadata and telemetry for tens of billions of cloud resources every day. Our agentless scanner collects massive amounts of data that needs to be processed very efficiently. As our […]

A managed cloud service eliminates the tedious task of managing infrastructure and offers several key benefits, including scalability, cost savings, and security. These benefits make it compelling for mission-critical applications to move to the cloud. High availability is especially important for these applications because any downtime can cause loss of revenue, impact team productivity, and […]

Amazon ElastiCache for Redis is an in-memory data store, delivering real-time, cost-optimized performance for modern applications. It is a fully managed service that scales to millions of operations per second with microsecond response time. Open-source Redis (“Redis OSS”) is one of the most loved NoSQL key-value stores, and is known for its great performance. Our […]

Need for Speed—No, it’s not the video game, but rather a critical requirement for the success of your website in this competitive world. Although we might think that subsecond delay is acceptable, the New York Times noted in For Impatient Web Users, an Eye Blink Is Just Too Long to Wait that humans can notice […]

Amazon MemoryDB for Redis and Amazon ElastiCache for Redis are in-memory data stores. While ElastiCache is commonly used as a cache, MemoryDB is a durable database designed for applications with high performance requirements. Customers love Redis as an in-memory data engine. As data used and accessed grows exponentially, making the most of the memory available […]

Application developers love Redis because it has a large and vibrant open source community, provides blazing-fast in-memory performance, and has a developer-friendly yet powerful API that provides native support for multiple data structures. These traits make Redis a great fit for building and running high-performance, scalable web applications. At AWS, we offer two fully-managed, Redis-based […]

Redis users typically access a Redis service, such as Amazon ElastiCache or Amazon MemoryDB for Redis, using their choice of language-specific open source client libraries. These libraries are built and maintained by independent teams, with contributions from others including AWS. In this post, we share best practices for optimizing Redis client performance for popular Redis […]

Caching is an integral part of today’s modern architecture. A cache is designed to store your most frequently used data to improve your application’s performance, and reduce burden on your primary data store. You can use a cache layer in a multitude of use cases, including web caching, session management, database caching, and more. As […]
