$68.40/month seems a bit high to me
- jdelsman 15y agoYeah, you may as well just run an EC2 node with memcached on it...
- fallous 15y agoOr membase, which gives you storage-backing and TAP protocol to do things like fetching all keys.
- rcaught 15y agoExcept running memcached on an EC2 instance is not equivalent to the ElastiCache offering. With ElastiCache you are paying for a redundant, managed service that can be scaled and monitored through a few clicks of a webpage or API. Outsourcing these type of things is potentially justifiable to a developer whose wallet is full and many hats touch the ceiling.
- simonw 15y agoIn what way is ElastiCache redundant?
- jacques_chester 15y ago> In addition, Amazon ElastiCache automatically detects and replaces failed Cache Nodes, providing a resilient system that mitigates the risk of overloaded databases, which slow website and application load times.
- andrevoget 15y ago$68.40/month is the price for the smallest instance with only 1.3 GB. The biggest instance with 68 GB costs $1,612.80 per month.
