한눈에 보기

AWS ElastiCache provides managed Redis or Memcached clusters. Store frequently accessed data in memory, retrieve in <1ms instead of querying database. Use for page caching, session storage, leaderboards, rate limiting. Mastery means understanding data structures (strings, lists, hashes, sorted sets), eviction policies, replication, and cost optimization. Learning path: caching concepts (1 week) → Redis basics (2 weeks) → ElastiCache setup (2 weeks) → production patterns (1 week).

AWS ElastiCache이란

AWS ElastiCache is a managed Redis or Memcached service. You create a cache cluster, connect your application, and store frequently accessed data in RAM. Lookups take <1ms instead of 10-100ms database queries. ElastiCache handles replication, failover, backups, and scaling. Use cases: page caching, session storage, leaderboards, rate limiting, real-time analytics.

Redis Caching Strategies Database Design

❓ 자주 묻는 질문

Should I use Redis or Memcached?

Redis: data structures (lists, sets, sorted sets), persistence, transactions. Memcached: simpler, pure caching. Use Redis for 99% of use cases; Memcached only if you need extreme simplicity.

How much faster is ElastiCache than a database?

Database query: 10-100ms. ElastiCache hit: <1ms. 10-100x speedup for cached reads. Game-changer for user experience.

What's an eviction policy?

Rule for what to delete when cache is full. LRU (least recently used) is default. Other options: LFU (least frequently used), TTL-based, random.

Can I use ElastiCache for sessions?

Yes, perfect use case. Store session state in Redis with TTL. User signs in, session created in Redis, expires after inactivity.

How do I handle cache invalidation?

Hard problem. Options: TTL (automatic expiry), explicit deletion (FLUSHDB), pub/sub notifications (invalidate across instances), or write-through (update cache on DB write).

Is ElastiCache suitable for production?

Yes, millions of prod systems use Redis. Enable multi-AZ, encryption, and backups for resilience.

Can I persist data in Redis?

Yes, RDB (snapshots) or AOF (append-only file). But Redis is primarily in-memory. Persistence slower than native SSD. For persistent data, use RDS/DynamoDB.
