AWS re:Invent 2014 was an exciting event for Redis, with Amazon making several notable announcements that are particularly exciting for developers. The company introduced Lambda, a new service that allows developers to code on top of AWS' infrastructure without managing underlying compute resources. This is seen as a big step towards Amazon's pure PaaS model. Additionally, Amazon announced the EC2 Container Service, which facilitates container management and provides a free service for cluster management, authentication, firewalling, and movement between different availability zones. The third notable announcement was the launch of Amazon Aurora, a second-generation relational database that offers enhanced performance and availability through its scalable infrastructure and read replica mechanism. Overall, this year's announcements demonstrate Amazon's innovation and disruption in the IT industry, leaving Redis excited for next year's AWS re:Invent.
