Amazon ElastiCache embodies much of what makes fast data a reality for customers looking to process high volume data at incredible rates, faster than traditional databases can manage. Whether it is gaming, adtech, travel, or retail—speed wins, it's simple. Redis's microsecond latency has made it a de facto choice for caching.

Consider a retail chain of stores or restaurants with tens of thousands of outlets. It’s not enough just to pick out interesting events from an aggregated data stream and then send them to a database for offline analysis using Spark. Walgreens has more than 9,000, and McDonald’s has more than 14,000 in the U.S.
