AWS ElastiCache Serverless is a serverless version of the managed Redis service, offering developers an easy-to-use and scalable in-memory data store without worrying about infrastructure management. The pricing model for ElastiCache Serverless is based on the GB of data stored ($0.125 per GB per hour) and ECPUs ($0.0034 per million). While it's a great option for small cache workloads or applications with spiky traffic, its cost-effectiveness decreases as memory requirements increase beyond 10GB to 20GB. For larger workloads, alternatives like Dragonfly Cloud may be more suitable.
