What are In-Memory Data Stores and What Options Are Available in AWS?

With in-memory datastores, the data is stored not on disks as found in traditional datastores but in fast, random-access memory (RAM). This significantly reduces latency, which makes these types of datastores especially useful for applications that require fast response times where large spikes in traffic can occur, such as real-time analytics, caching, session stores and gaming leaderboards.

AWS offers two in-memory datastore options: Amazon Elasticache for Redis and Amazon ElastiCache for Memcached.

Amazon Elasticache for Redis provides an in-memory nonrelational database with sub-millisecond latency. These datastores can support Redis workloads of more than 6 TB of in-memory data within one cluster. The clusters themselves can support up to 15 shards and you can dynamically scale them to adapt to changes in demand.

Amazon ElastiCache for Memcached provides a Memcached-compatible key-value store that you can use as either a cache or a datastore. This makes it useful for web and e-commerce sites as well as for mobile apps and games.
