  • Cluster mode

Open-source alternative

2 candidate projects in the landscape. A candidate may cover all, part, or none of what ElastiCache does — read the coverage and gaps below.

Valkey

BSD-3-Clause

Linux Foundation fork of Redis; in-memory data store.

OSS alternative since the Redis licence change.

Coverage and gaps

Alternative coverage

Available. Valkey is the open successor to Redis OSS; Memcached is the other classic.

The gap

Fully covered by Valkey (Redis fork) and Memcached; the gap is operations, not software.
