Modern apps are not monolithic; they’re composed of a complex graph of interconnected microservices, where the response time for one component can impact the performance of the entire system. For instance, a page load on an e-commerce website may require inputs from a dozen microservices, each of which must execute quickly to render the entire page as fast as possible so you don’t lose a customer. It’s critical that the data systems that support those microservices perform rapidly and reliably, and where speed is a primary concern, Redis has always been top performer. By Dr. Werner Vogels.
The article describes:
- Redis’ best-effort consistency
- MemoryDB: It’s all about the replication log
- Redis-compatible
- Purpose-built database for speed
The world moves faster and faster every day, which means data, and the systems that support that data, have to move even faster still. Now, when customers need an ultra-fast, durable database to process and store real-time data, they no longer have to risk data loss. With Amazon MemoryDB for Redis, AWS finally offers strong consistency for Redis so customers can focus on what they want to build for the future. Good read!
