Memorystore

Memorystore

- [Narrator] Memorystore is Google Cloud's fully managed service for in-memory cache. It is based on Redis, an open source NoSQL database. It stores data as key value pairs and can help reduce the time to read data in an application by storing in-memory for faster access. Memorystore is a fully managed service, so it ensures high availability, takes care of patches and automatic failover. What are some use cases for Memorystore? You'll want to use this service to cash, frequently used data in memory. So again, the best use case here is for high performance applications that require low latency. Memorystore helps reduce latency and is compatible with other open source Redis and Memcached stores. It is also highly available and easy to scale while Memorystore is suitable for applications. It's an important data store to mention here as it can be used to pull data from the data warehouse to Memorystore for application use.
