Using the new HybridCache library to simplify distributed caching
The new HybridCache
library in ASP.NET Core combines the benefits of in-memory caching (IMemoryCache
) and distributed caching (IDistributedCache
) into a single, easy-to-use API. When data is requested, HybridCache
first checks the fast local memory cache, falling back to a distributed cache if needed. The distributed cache can work with any IDistributedCache
implementation as a backplane, enabling cache synchronization across multiple server instances. It provides features such as cache stampede protection, serialization abstractions, and automatic handling of multi-level caching. In this recipe, we’ll integrate HybridCache
into our Books
API to optimize performance and simplify caching logic.
Getting ready
Ensure you have the .NET 9 SDK installed, as HybridCache
is available starting from .NET 9.
Ensure that Docker Desktop is installed and running on your machine as we will use Redis via Aspire.
