Engine and node type
us-east-1list rates, pricing as of 2026-07-09. Node picker (t4g/r7g) or custom $/hr; Serverless ECPU + storage. Source: AWS public pricing.
Who This Tool Is For
Application teams deploying low-latency caches for APIs and session-heavy workloads.
Why We Built This Tool
Cache replication improves resilience but can double or triple runtime cost quickly.
What Problem It Solves
- Shard planning. Translate topology to monthly budget.
- Replica tradeoffs. Quantify HA cost before rollout.
- Capacity discipline. Prevent oversized cache fleets.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which prices are used?
us-east-1 list-rate assumptions (AWS ElastiCache pricing) as of 2026-07-09 for node-based planning.
Does this include data transfer?
No, this model estimates node runtime only.
What about serverless ElastiCache?
Select Serverless under engine to model ECPU + storage. Node-based mode uses the node type picker (or custom hourly rate).
Why enter hourly rate directly?
