Software Development Manager, AWS ElastiCache

Amazon MemoryDB is a durable, Valkey-compatible in-memory database that delivers microsecond read and single-digit-millisecond write latency with the durability and strong consistency of a primary database — removing the need for customers to run a separate cache and database. It achieves this by storing the entire dataset in memory while persisting changes through a distributed transactional log, giving customers in-memory speed together with data durability, consistency, and recoverability. MemoryDB powers demanding, latency-sensitive workloads at scale for AWS customers worldwide. This team also owns the durability foundation that now extends beyond MemoryDB into Amazon ElastiCache. ElastiCache is a fully managed caching service for Valkey, Redis, and Memcached delivering microsecond latency at any scale, and it is adding durability options built on the hard-won lessons and core technology from MemoryDB.
