We’re excited to announce Valkey General Language Independent Driver for the Enterprise (GLIDE), an open source permissively licensed (Apache 2.0 license) Valkey client library. In this post, we discuss the benefits of Valkey GLIDE.

In-memory databases are ideal for applications that require microsecond response times and high throughput, such as caching, gaming, session stores, geo-spatial services, queuing, real-time data analytics and feature stores for machine learning (ML). In this In-Memory Database Bluebook, we provide you with a list of Amazon ElastiCache and Amazon MemoryDB for Redis code samples and […]

August, 2024: This post has been updated to reflect advances in technology and new features AWS released, to help you on your generative AI journey. Generative artificial intelligence (AI) has captured our imagination and is transforming industries with its ability to answer questions, write stories, create art, and generate code. AWS customers are increasingly asking […]

A common challenge customers face as their business grows is providing the same level of service to their end-users. Most often, databases become bottlenecks as usage outgrows capacity. Caching strategies may help improve performance by offloading frequently used data to a cache like Redis. This requires additional overhead in keeping your cache up to date. […]

Applications in the past were monolithic and rigid, and their components were closely coupled with each other, making them difficult to develop, maintain, and adapt to changing business requirements. Today’s businesses need to deliver changes rapidly, frequently and reliably. To overcome these issues, organizations are moving from development of monolithic applications to microservices architectures for […]

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 MemoryDB for Redis is a Redis-compatible database service that delivers both in-memory performance and Multi-AZ durability. You can use MemoryDB as a primary database for use cases that require durable storage and ultra-fast performance, like user session data, message streaming between microservices, payment processing, gaming leaderboards, and Internet of Things (IoT). Today, we announced […]

Today marks the one-year anniversary of the launch of Amazon MemoryDB for Redis. On 8/19/2021, AWS announced the general availability of Amazon MemoryDB for Redis, a fully managed, Redis-compatible database, that delivers both in-memory performance and Multi-AZ durability. Over the past year, thousands of customers have adopted MemoryDB as their primary database for critical workloads […]

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 […]
