DBS Bank Ltd. (DBS) is a financial services group in Asia that offers innovative financial services to support a wide range of customers, including trading companies. Over the decades, the bank’s quantitative pricing engines helped traders identify the most profitable opportunities using in-house algorithms. These pricing engines were hosted on-premises using various legacy databases, which were costly to maintain and difficult to scale. DBS chose to build a cloud-based solution on Amazon Web Services (AWS) and used Amazon ElastiCache for Redis to improve its pricing query response time by 100x, scale to support hundreds of thousands of read/write processes per second, and achieve significant cost savings.

PayPay Corporation is one of Japan's leading mobile payments applications, with more than 30 million users completing millions of cashless transactions every day. PayPay has been using Amazon ElastiCache for Redis both as a distributed cache and a low-latency persistent data store.
“We chose ElastiCache because we needed a fully managed and highly scalable distributed Redis cluster for numerous microservices. For example, our authentication service is based on access tokens stored in ElastiCache for Redis. Because every API call requires authentication, this service handles a huge amount of traffic per second and requires sub-millisecond performance. ElastiCache for Redis makes this possible.”
Shilei Long, Senior Software Architect, PayPay Corporation
“We use ElastiCache for Redis as a shared cache to an auto-scaling group of EC2 instances for our API management Platform, to get high availability and low latency. We wanted to have atomic increments as well as sorted sets. We were also concerned about availability and read performance across Multiple AZs. Because of these needs, we chose ElastiCache for Redis."

LG’s ThinQ platform stores data in Amazon ElastiCache and Amazon DynamoDB, which provide historical data for services.
“With the previous infrastructure, we retrieved data directly from devices to get status information. Now, the Device Shadow Service feature for AWS IoT enables the system to cache the status information from the server. This feature has made it possible to deliver better service consistency.”
Kunwoo Kim, Chief of the Service Development Team - LG Cloud Center
“For startup companies, time is really important. Not needing to perform management tasks, provision hardware, check software patches, and maintain infrastructure gives us a lot more time to work on our ideas and our algorithms. One of the greatest features of ElastiCache is that it is very quickly up to date with the latest stable versions of Redis. It enables us to scale out easily, while still having that magic layer of redundancy in case things go wrong. It’s empowering when we, as engineers, can spin up a new Redis instance in minutes without having to think about maintenance, and we can rely on a hardened version of Redis.”
Daniel Pyrathon and David O'Steen, Senior Machine Learning Engineer and Data Team Lead - Coffee Meets Bagel

Amazon GameOn Achieves Ultra-Low Latency, Simple Change Processes Using Amazon DynamoDB and ElastiCache.
“Prior to our migration from a traditional data center to AWS, we handled all our user and API session management within our transactional database. Although moving from traditional MySQL to Amazon Aurora greatly improved our system performance and reliability, within a month of our AWS migration, we decided to move all our session management activity to ElastiCache for Redis and immediately saw a 10x improvement in performance. We’ve been running ElastiCache for the last 2 years and it is something that we don’t even think about anymore, as it has been 100% reliable and highly performant since we put it in service.”
Clark Huang, Chief Technology Officer - sticky.io
“We use ElastiCache Redis for an application that collects data for our test & learn experiments, processing ~200 million messages a day. We are using DynamoDB as a main data-store, fronting it with ElastiCache Redis. With ElastiCache Redis we were able to decrease our provisioned DynamoDB capacity by 90%, reducing total database cost by 6x. It is fully managed and offers us benefits such as convenient metrics as well as Multi-AZ. While we haven’t had the need to fall back to a read replica yet, it is great to know that if something goes bad, we will have the read replica automatically promoted to mitigate the impact on our application.”
Kuldeep Chowhan, Engineering Manager - Expedia

Amazon ElastiCache provides us the ability to deploy and scale out distributed Cache Clusters in minutes. Moving forward, we intend to use the service to rapidly increase or decrease our cache footprint to meet our application demand. The detailed monitoring capabilities will help us quickly diagnose and fix throughput or latency issues."
Keith Fitzgerald, Vice President of Engineering - TicketLeap
“We use ElastiCache to cache search results of the HERE Geocoder API, a web service that finds an address or resolves a geo-location into an address. The HERE Geocoder API serves more than 400 million requests a day. Using ElastiCache significantly reduces average response times which are critical to our consumer, automotive and enterprise users. At the same time we reduced operational costs by shifting load from expensive CPU-optimized instances to lower cost cache node instances."
