AWS ElastiCache runs Redis and Memcached clusters with automatic failover, backup snapshots, and in-transit encryption. Teams integrate caching layers directly into VPC-bound microservice architectures.

Key takeaway:
Use reserved instances for steady-state workloads and enable cluster mode for horizontal shard scaling beyond single-node memory limits.
