Add your +1 👍 to help us prioritize high-level constructs for this service

Overview:

Amazon ElastiCache makes it easy to set up, manage, and scale distributed in-memory cache environments in the AWS Cloud. It provides a high performance, resizable, and cost-effective in-memory cache, while removing complexity associated with deploying and managing a distributed cache environment. ElastiCache works with both the Redis and Memcached engines; to see which works best for you, see the Comparing Memcached and Redis topic in either user guide.

I see that there's already a PR for Elasticache Redis L2 construct: #8196 🚀

Any updates here? Looks like there's a lot of interest in this.

I've just finished the first draft for an RFC to get L2 support going. I'm currently waiting for feedback from the bar raiser, but community outreach will be next :)
aws/aws-cdk-rfcs#456

[dbartholomae]

The RFC is now looking for feedback:
aws/aws-cdk-rfcs#464

[dbartholomae]

The RFC is merged. I'm still a bit unclear on the formalities of the implementation process (see the discussion in the RFC issue), but if someone knows more about this and wants to go ahead already, that's fine for me, too. Otherwise, I would wait for feedback on the process and implement RedisClusterReplicationGroup and the related interfaces and base classes afterwards.

Any updates? ElastiCache Serverless has been announced, and not much activity here.
