Question

Does 'AWS Elasticache for Redis' supports 'RedisGear'?

If i am using an EC2 Instance, Then I have the freedom to install Redis and Run Redis Gear as well. I wonder whether its possible to do so with AWS Elasticache for Redis as its a Managed Service. I am not sure whether it supports / allows to use Redis Gear.

I am looking to use Redis Gear to Write Behind (to keep the cache and database consistent) and Read Though (to read the data from database upon Cache Miss). This is mainly to avoid another dedicated executable to do this data sync process.

RedisGears is NOT supported on managed services according to official deployment feature page of redislab. https://redis.com/deployment/deployments-features/ . It is only supported in self host software version.
