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.

The post guides on starting with ElastiCache and integrating it with RDS for MySQL. Review sample code and AWS Solutions Library to implement these strategies.
