In this session, we give an overview of how to build low-latency and high-throughput applications with Amazon ElastiCache. We also provide an introduction to Redis and Memcached, two of the world’s leading in-memory databases, and we cover the specific use cases customers are solving with them. From use cases like caching, session storage, and leaderboards, a wide range of applications can have dramatic performance improvements with an added an in-memory database.
