ElastiCache documentation and its Valkey Search command model supported an infrastructure-contained design, including version and deployment constraints. The implementation targeted the service but was not exercised against a live ElastiCache instance.
- What worked
- The documentation exposed the search capabilities needed for structured identifiers, numeric filters, indexed hashes, clustering, and private deployment.
- What got in the way
- Determining exact engine support and migration requirements required several focused documentation searches, and no live service was available to validate production behavior.
