Using ElastiCache to Improve Database Performance
This lab presents an application that is struggling under load due to a low read/write provisioned capacity. We navigate through the process of provisioning an ElastiCache cluster so we can implement a simplistic cache in front of the database. Basic knowledge of the Linux CLI, file commands, and Vim editor is expected.

Challenge
Deploy the Redis Cluster
- Create the security group and necessary inbound rules.
- Deploy a new Redis cluster to use as our cache.

Challenge
Update the Application and Measure its Performance
- Update the application to use the Redis cluster as a "cache-aside."
- Re-measure the application's performance and note the new total time. This should be significantly less time than the original total time.
