Thanks. Yes, I agree with you that Redis is easy to learn and use and <br>
the command docs are pretty good. And there is almost certainly a good <br>
client library to use with AWS Elasticache. My hope is that someone <br>
will tell me how to find that library, because that's where my search <br>
efforts have broken down.<br>

Hey Alan,<br>
<br>
Redis tends to be a pretty easy component to learn and use. To get<br>
started, I would suggest installing it locally. If you have a Mac,<br>
it's easy to get via Homebrew. Then just jump into the CLI and start<br>
getting and setting values. Command docs are here [1]. Their docs in<br>
general are usually pretty great. If you are using this with a Python<br>
app, I would be blown away if there wasn't an easy to use client<br>
library. As far as AWS goes, I would suggest using ElastiCache, which<br>
can be powered by hosted/managed Redis nodes. This way, no need to<br>
run the service yourself.<br>
<br>
Does that help at all?<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Alex<br>
