ElastiCache

Fully-managed in-memory data store, compatible with Redis or Memcached engines, with sub-millisecond latency. As it’s a fully managed service, AWS is in charge of all its management and configuration; you only need to worry about the data. It’s used when you need extreme performance and extremely low latency. It is popular for real-time use cases, especially in Caching and Session Stores.
