The best features Momento offers are serverless cache support, which eliminates the need to provision a cluster as required for Redis, and automatic scaling to handle traffic spikes, along with built-in time to live functionality. Automatic scaling stands out as the most valuable feature in my day-to-day work because this cache functionality is the most useful. Momento is also highly available, so since our application has been deployed in different AWS regions, we can access it with very little downtime or latency. Momento has positively impacted our organization by improving API response time, reducing external calls, and thus saving costs. The API calls have improved from two seconds down to two hundred milliseconds, and external costs such as those for weather APIs provided by IBM have been cached, resulting in hundreds of dollars being saved for the organization.
