# MemoryDB Cluster

MemoryDB Cluster is a fully managed, Redis-compatible, in-memory database service in AWS designed for ultra-fast performance and high availability. It stores data in memory for microsecond read and write latency, making it ideal for real-time applications such as caching, session stores, leaderboards, and analytics. The cluster supports automatic failover, multi-AZ replication, and encryption for durability and security.
