Amazon ElastiCache vs Heroku Redis: What are the differences?
Developers describe Amazon ElastiCache as "Deploy, operate, and scale an in-memory cache in the cloud". ElastiCache improves the performance of web applications by allowing you to retrieve information from fast, managed, in-memory caches, instead of relying entirely on slower disk-based databases. ElastiCache supports Memcached and Redis. On the other hand, Heroku Redis is detailed as "Reliable and powerful Redis as a service". Heroku Redis is an in-memory key-value data store, run by Heroku, that is provisioned and managed as an add-on. Heroku Redis is accessible from any language with a Redis driver, including all languages and frameworks supported by Heroku.
Amazon ElastiCache belongs to "Managed Memcache" category of the tech stack, while Heroku Redis can be primarily classified under "Redis Hosting".
According to the StackShare community, Amazon ElastiCache has a broader approval, being mentioned in 349 company stacks & 79 developers stacks; compared to Heroku Redis, which is listed in 12 company stacks and 15 developer stacks.
