How to connect AWS elasticache redis from Node.js application ?
3 Answers
You're connecting to Redis. The fact that it's a managed AWS service is not really that important in this respect.
So, use a Node.js package that implements a Redis client interface, for example:

You can use the package ioredis
and stablish a connection like this
const Redis = require('ioredis')
const redis = new Redis({
port: 6379,
host: 'your-redis-host',
connectTimeout: 10000 // optional
});

You can try connecting using ioredis.
var Redis = require('ioredis');
var config = require("./config.json");
const redis = new Redis({
host: config.host,
port: config.port,
password: config.password, // If you have any.
tls: {}, // Add this empty tls field.
});
redis.on('connect', () => {
console.log('Redis client is initiating a connection to the server.');
});
redis.on('ready', () => {
console.log('Redis client successfully initiated connection to the server.');
});
redis.on('reconnecting', () => {
console.log('Redis client is trying to reconnect to the server...');
});
redis.on('error', (err) => console.log('Redis Client Error', err));
//check the functioning
redis.set("framework", "AngularJS", function(err, reply) {
console.log("redis.set ", reply);
});
redis.get("framework", function(err, reply) {
console.log("redis.get ", reply);
});
