Text-to-SQL can automatically transform analytical questions into executable SQL code for enhanced data accessibility and streamlined data exploration, from analyzing sales data and monitoring performance metrics to assessing customer feedback. In this post, we explore how to use Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) for PostgreSQL and Amazon Bedrock to build a generative AI text-to-SQL chatbot application using Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG). We’ll also see how we can use Amazon MemoryDB with vector search to provide semantic caching to further accelerate this solution.

Habby is a game studio that creates interactive entertainment to connect players worldwide. We adopted Valkey GLIDE, a client library for Amazon ElastiCache for Valkey and Redis OSS, to address our system challenges. Our system uses the Amazon ElastiCache for Redis OSS publish/subscribe (Pub/Sub) functionality for the chat message sending. However, we faced challenges with connection stability during infrastructure changes, such as instance scaling, Redis OSS version upgrades, and hardware failures. This post describes our messaging system architecture and explains how we improved system reliability by using Valkey GLIDE as the client communicating with Amazon ElastiCache.

In this post, we explore the basics of integrating a Spring Boot application with ElastiCache to enable caching. Amazon ElastiCache is a fully managed, Valkey-, Memcached-, and Redis OSS-compatible service that delivers real-time, cost-optimized performance for modern applications with 99.99% SLA availability. ElastiCache speeds up application performance, scaling to millions of operations per second with microsecond response time.

On December 1, 2024, we announced the general availability of Amazon MemoryDB Multi-Region, a fully managed, active-active, multi-Region database that you can use to build applications with up to 99.999% availability, microsecond read, and single-digit millisecond write latencies across multiple Regions. In this post, we cover the benefits of MemoryDB Multi-Region, how it works, its disaster recovery capabilities, the consistency and conflict resolution mechanisms, and how to monitor replication lag across Regions.

Modern applications are built as a group of microservices, and the latency for one component can impact the performance of the entire system. Monitoring latency is critical for maintaining optimal performance, enhancing user experience, and maintaining system reliability. In this post, we explore ways to monitor latency, detect anomalies, and troubleshoot high-latency issues effectively for your self-designed (node-based) ElastiCache clusters.

Amazon MemoryDB is a Valkey– and Redis OSS-compatible, durable, in-memory database service that delivers ultra-fast performance. With MemoryDB, data is stored in memory with Multi-AZ durability, which enables you to achieve microsecond read and single-digit millisecond write latency and high throughput. MemoryDB is often used for building durable microservices and latency-sensitive database workloads such as […]

Valkey is an open-source, distributed, in-memory key-value data store that offers high-performance data retrieval and storage capabilities, making it an ideal choice for scalable, low-latency modern application development. Originating as a fork of Redis OSS following recent licensing changes, Valkey maintains full compatibility with its predecessor while providing high performance alternative for its developers. Valkey […]

Today, we are adding support for Valkey 8.0 on Amazon ElastiCache. ElastiCache version 8.0 for Valkey brings faster scaling for ElastiCache Serverless and memory optimizations for node-based clusters. In this post, we discuss these improvements and how you can benefit from them.

Today, Amazon MemoryDB announces support for Valkey version 7.2, with 30% lower instance hour pricing as compared to Amazon MemoryDB for Redis OSS. With MemoryDB for Valkey, there is no charge for data written up to 10 TB per month, and then billed at $0.04/GB for any data written over 10 TB. Valkey is an […]

Today, Amazon ElastiCache announces support for Valkey version 7.2 with Serverless priced 33% lower and self-designed (node-based) clusters priced 20% lower than other supported engines. With ElastiCache Serverless for Valkey, customers can create a cache in under a minute and get started as low as $6/month. Valkey is an open source, high performance, key-value datastore […]
