Amazon MemoryDB: A Fast and Durable Memory-First Cloud Database
Summary: MemoryDB: memory-first cloud DB built on Redis, delivering 11 9s durability via a separate low-latency durable log service. Maintains Redis compatibility while decoupling in-memory compute from durability, delivering single-digit ms writes, microsecond reads, strong consistency, and high availability.
