Production-ready Redis with full root access, automated backups, and security hardening - an alternative to ElastiCache for teams needing OS-level control and custom configurations on AWS.
This fully managed Redis solution delivers a production-ready, hardened in-memory data store on AWS, built on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. Every instance is pre-configured with security best practices, persistence settings, and automated operations.
Key Features
Automated Setup and Configuration
On first login, an interactive setup script configures Redis with secure passwords, persistence settings, and firewall rules - all within minutes.
Built-in Backup and Recovery
Pre-configured daily RDB snapshots with 7-day retention. One-command restore for fast recovery. Export snapshots to S3 for additional resilience.
Security Hardened
Password authentication enabled by default, UFW firewall pre-configured to allow only SSH (22) and Redis (6379) from trusted sources, protected-mode enabled, and latest security patches applied.
Performance Optimized
maxmemory and eviction policies tuned for the selected instance type. Persistence settings balanced between durability and performance.
Use Cases
Application caching and session management
Real-time leaderboards and counting
Message queuing and pub/sub messaging
Rate limiting and API throttling
Geospatial data indexing and queries
Machine learning feature stores and real-time inference caching
Getting Started
Launch the AMI from AWS Marketplace on your preferred instance type

AWS Marketplace now accepts line of credit payments through the PNC Vendor Finance program. This program is available to select AWS customers in the US, excluding NV, NC, ND, TN, & VT.
You pay by the hour based on the EC2 instance size you choose. Pricing scales with compute capacity across eight instance options. The t2 family (t2.medium, t2.large, t2.xlarge) and t3 family (t3.medium, t3.large, t3.xlarge) offer burstable performance in three sizes each. The m5 family (m5.large, m5.xlarge) provides general-purpose capacity in two sizes. Larger instances within a family carry more compute and memory, so hourly rates rise accordingly. Each instance runs the managed in-memory cache and database service, and billing flows through your AWS invoice.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does one hourly instance charge cover beyond the compute itself?
Each hourly rate covers a managed in-memory cache and database deployment on that instance size. Perimattic handles provisioning, SSL, monitoring, daily backups, security patches, and updates. You do not set up or maintain servers yourself. The charge reflects both the running instance and the managed service around it.
Am I charged when the instance is stopped or idle?
Billing meters running instance-hours. When an instance is not running, no software hourly charge accrues for that time. Underlying AWS storage or other resources tied to the instance may still incur separate AWS fees. The managed service charge tracks active running time only.
How do I move to a bigger instance size, and does my rate change automatically?
Each instance size is a separate hourly dimension, so moving up is a deliberate choice, not automatic. You select the size that fits your workload. If you switch to a larger instance, the hourly rate for that size applies going forward. Smaller sizes stop billing once you stop running them.

An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.
