MultiCache is a versatile library designed to address intricate caching challenges. In high-traffic applications, the distribution of caching mechanisms can lead to complications, particularly when relying on TCP sockets for each cache request. MultiCache tackles this issue by dual-caching objects, both in the Cache Server (Redis) and the server's memory. This approach optimizes subsequent requests by serving them directly from memory, enhancing performance and minimizing dependence on the Cache Server.
To integrate MultiCache into your application, start by configuring it to specify the cache server during the startup phase:
services.AddRedisMultiCacheServices(options =>
{
options.Configuration = "YOUR_REDIS_CONNECTION_STRING";
options.InstanceName = "YOUR_REDIS_INSTANCE_NAME";
});Once configured, you can utilize the IMultiCacheManager interface in your application code, providing access to the following methods:
Task<(T, bool)> GetAsync<T>(string key, CancellationToken cancellationToken = default);
Task SetAsync<T>(string key, T value, TimeSpan? expiry = null, CancellationToken token = default);
Task<(T, bool)> GetOrCreateAsync<T>(string key, Func<Task<T>> factory, TimeSpan? expiry = null, CancellationToken cancellationToken = default);
Task RemoveAsync(string key, CancellationToken cancellationToken);You can install the MultiCache.StackExchangeRedis package via NuGet Package Manager:
dotnet add package MultiCache.StackExchangeRedisWhen a cache is removed from Redis, the corresponding key is also removed from the memory across all working servers.
