Optimize RDS for MySQL costs and boost performance with ElastiCache
Optimizing database costs while boosting performance is a common challenge. This AWS blog post explores using Amazon ElastiCache for Redis with Amazon RDS for MySQL to achieve cost savings and performance improvements.
Key points include:
- ElastiCache can cache query results to offload database IOPS, reduce costs, and provide up to 80x faster read performance.
- Strategies like lazy loading and write-through maximize benefits.
- Examples show ElastiCache reducing the need for RDS read replicas, leading to 55% cost savings.
