ElastiCache Sizing & Node Selection Guide
Memory-Optimized (cache.r)
Best for high-throughput caching and in-memory key-value databases where data size dominates CPU needs. Graviton4 (r8g) and Graviton3 (r7g) offer the best memory bandwidth and lowest cost per GiB.
General Purpose (cache.m)
Balanced memory-to-CPU ratio for applications with moderate datasets, higher compute or serialization overhead, and active Pub/Sub or stream operations.
Compute & Network (cache.c)
High network bandwidth nodes (up to 200 Gbps on c8gn and c7gn) tailored for heavy read/write throughput on compressed caching workloads.
Burstable (cache.t)
Ideal for dev/test environments and non-production caching (cache.t4g.micro starts at just $0.013/hr on Valkey). Not recommended for production cluster workloads.
