Amazon AWS ElastiCache Deployment

In this video I carve out Redis from our monolithic deployment into a caching tier by setting up Amazon ElastiCache as our managed cache option. I take a look at two options in this video: serverless and custom deployment.
Amazon ElastiCache for Redis offers several benefits for businesses looking to enhance their applications and infrastructure. Here are five of the top benefits:
1. High Performance: Redis is an in-memory data store, offering extremely low-latency data access. ElastiCache for Redis leverages this capability, providing high throughput and low latency for read-heavy workloads. This is particularly beneficial for applications requiring real-time data processing or caching.
2. Scalability: Amazon ElastiCache allows you to scale your Redis infrastructure easily as your application grows. With just a few clicks or API calls, you can increase the memory capacity or add more nodes to your Redis cluster to handle increased load and storage requirements. This scalability ensures that your application performance remains optimal even during periods of high demand.
3. Managed Service: AWS manages the infrastructure and administration tasks associated with ElastiCache for Redis, including software patching, hardware provisioning, and cluster management. This frees up your team from routine maintenance tasks, allowing them to focus on building and improving your applications.
4. High Availability: ElastiCache for Redis offers built-in features for data replication and automatic failover, ensuring high availability of your Redis clusters. In the event of a node failure, ElastiCache automatically detects the failure and promotes a replica to serve as the new primary node, minimizing downtime and data loss.
5. Compatibility and Integration: ElastiCache for Redis is fully compatible with the open-source Redis API, allowing you to seamlessly migrate your existing Redis workloads to AWS without any code changes. Additionally, it integrates with other AWS services such as Amazon VPC, AWS CloudFormation, Amazon CloudWatch, and AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM), providing a unified and integrated experience for managing your infrastructure.
These benefits make Amazon ElastiCache for Redis a compelling choice for businesses looking to improve the performance, scalability, and reliability of their applications that rely on Redis data stores.
I also take you through the steps to configure Laravel to take advantage of our ElastiCache instances.

Thank you so much!!! From Philippines!

You're welcome!

This is so odd, that I followed every steps but keep getting "504 Gateway Time-out" from Nginx .

Update: I had to add the rule to open port 6379

[@thetechnologysandbox]

That was going to be my guess. Nice find!
