Microsoft.Extensions.Caching.Hybrid

This package contains a concrete implementation of the HybridCache API, simplifying and enhancing cache usage that might previously have been built on top of IDistributedCache.

Key features:

• built on top of IDistributedCache - all existing cache backends (Redis, SQL Server, CosmosDB, etc) should work immediately
• simple API (all the cache, serialization, etc details from are encapsulated)
• cache-stampede protection (combining of concurrent requests for the same data)
• performance enhancements such as inbuilt support for the newer IBufferDistributedCache API
• fully configurable serialization

Full HybridCache documentation is here.

Usage example

The HybridCache service can be registered and configured via IServiceCollection, for example:

builder.Services.AddHybridCache(/* optional configuration /*);

Note that in many cases you may also wish to register a distributed cache backend, as ; for example a Redis instance:
