# ElastiCache Serverless Cache

ElastiCache Serverless Cache is a fully managed, serverless caching option in AWS that automatically scales capacity based on application demand. It removes the need to manage nodes or clusters, providing instant availability and high performance for caching workloads. This service is designed to simplify operations, reduce costs, and deliver low-latency access to frequently used data without manual provisioning or scaling.
