How is Momento Cache different than DAX?

Momento Cache is a serverless, read-aside cache that scales automatically and maintains high availability for DynamoDB. In contrast, DAX is a managed, cluster-based solution that requires manual scaling and can be disruptive to application traffic. Although DAX promises API compatibility with DynamoDB, it falls short in practice, while Momento Cache is easy to integrate using middleware.
