There is two type of engine supported in Elastic ache: Memcached and Redis.

Memcached:

It is a popular in-memory data store which the developers use for the high-performance cache to speed up applications. By storing the data in memory instead of disk Memcached can retrieve the data in less than a millisecond. It works by keeping every value of the key for every other data to be stored and uniquely identifies each data and lets Memcached quickly find the record.

Redis:

Today’s applications need low LATENCY and high throughput performance for real-time processing. Due to the performance, simplicity, and capability of redis, it is most favored by the developers. It provides high performance for real-time APPS and sub-millisecond latency. It supports COMPLEX data types i.n. STRING, HASHES, etc and has a backup and restore capabilities. While Memcached supports key names and values up to 1 MB only redis supports up to 512 MB.
