How Coursera monitors ElastiCache and Memcached performance

This article details how to collect performance metrics from Amazon ElastiCache, covering both Redis and Memcached engines. It outlines using both native ElastiCache metrics (via CloudWatch) and engine-specific metrics to gain deeper insights into cache health and performance, like cache hits/misses and CPU utilization. Effectively monitoring these metrics is crucial for optimizing your ElastiCache clusters and ensuring application responsiveness.
