Amazon ElastiCache vs. ObjectRocket

Amazon ElastiCache is a great tool to use when you need to cache data in your application to access it really fast and also want that to be fully managed, cost-efficient, and highly available in the production environment along with monitoring capabilities. It should not be used as a permanent database solution as Redis or Memcached are not alternatives for that. If the load is really less than choosing this might cost you more. Using it when you only want to pay when you run it would be better.

• Amazon ElastiCache is fully-managed. Our team is small, and our ability to configure, monitor and patch Redis will never be our competitive advantage.
• Amazon ElastiCache is fast and scalable. It is easy to scale reads with replicas.
• Amazon ElastiCache is integrated with CloudWatch. You get metrics out-of-the-box, and it is easy to create alerts for them.

• not to get lost cache data in order to change ElasitCache instance type
• most of the time cache data are not distributively stored to secondary, mostly goes to primary
• default TTL should be 30 days or 60 days instead of infinity

Amazon Elasticache is better than Amazon Elasticsearch and Amazon SQS as the former is good for dumping a lot of data for searching purposes later on and the latter is good for maintaining a message bus whereas Amazon ElastiCache purely works as a caching data store to provide faster data access. AWS DynamoDB is a good alternative if you're looking for a serverless solution as in Amazon ElastiCache, we get to see instances while in AWS DynamoDB, we can simply access the data without the need of bringing up a server.

• Basically, zero-maintenance Memcached clusters, meaning the time can be spent elsewhere rather than looking after our own.
