Distributed Caching Options in .NET

There are a number of distributing caching options in .NET.

Ignoring the distributed aspect of our desired cache for the minute we focus on the inbuilt MemoryCache.

For an in-process, in-memory cache, one option is to use MemoryCache (System.Runtime.Caching). Caching data types were introduced in .NET 4. A CacheItemPolicy dictates how long objects remain in the cache and what the eviction policy is.

Some more flexible and specialized options are:

Microsoft.Extensions.Caching.SqlServer

Microsoft.Extensions.Caching.StackExchangeRedis

NCache.Microsoft.Extensions.Caching.OpenSource
