Microsoft.Extensions.Caching

Caching is combined with a core caching abstraction under Microsoft.Extensions.Caching.Abstractions that allows for implementing general purpose memory and distributed caches, with integration for Redis and SqlServer.

Documentation can be found at https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/core/extensions/caching.

Contribution Bar

• We consider new features, new APIs, bug fixes, and performance changes

The APIs and functionality need more investment in the upcoming .NET releases.

Deployment

Microsoft.Extensions.Caching.Abstractions is not included in the shared framework. The package is deployed as out-of-band (OOB) and needs to be installed into projects directly.
