Amazon ElastiCache
Amazon ElastiCache provides in-memory caching within AWS, acting as a database layer to accelerate data access. It handles the specific job of storing frequently accessed data in RAM, reducing latency for applications that need quick reads without hitting slower disk-based databases.
This fits teams already operating in the AWS ecosystem who need low-latency performance. The main trade-off is cost structure: while a free trial exists, production use incurs charges starting at $0.0034 per 1M Elasti Cache Processing Units, so scaling usage directly increases expenses.
