Solved by adding a custom JSON to stack for memcahce attribute:
{
"deploy": {
"allpolls-app": {
"database": {
"adapter": "postgresql",
"encoding": "unicode",
"host": "....rds.amazonaws.com",
"port": "1234",
"database": "test_production",
"pool": "5",
"username": "...",
"password": "..."
},
"redis":
{
"host": "....amazonaws.com",
"port": "..."
},
"memcached":
{
}
}
}
}
