Integrate your Spring Boot application with Amazon ElastiCache using Spring Data Valkey

A walkthrough of integrating a Spring Boot application with Amazon ElastiCache using the new Spring Data Valkey module, covering setup with Maven dependencies, configuration properties, and running a demo caching application on EC2. It highlights advantages over Spring Data Redis: native AWS IAM authentication (no stored credentials), Availability Zone affinity routing to cut cross-AZ costs and latency (citing a 95% cost reduction and 49% latency improvement case study), and built-in OpenTelemetry observability. Also outlines the migration path from Spring Data Redis, requiring dependency, configuration, and import changes.
