ASP.NET Core libraries for in-memory and distributed caching with implementations for SQL Server and Redis.
ASP.NET Caching is a set of official libraries for implementing caching in ASP.NET Core applications. It provides both in-memory caching for single-server scenarios and distributed caching for multi-server deployments, with built-in support for SQL Server and Redis as cache stores. These libraries help developers reduce database load and improve application response times by storing frequently accessed data.
ASP.NET Core developers building web applications that require performance optimization through caching, particularly those working on scalable applications that need distributed caching solutions.
As part of the official ASP.NET Core ecosystem, these libraries offer standardized, well-tested caching implementations that integrate seamlessly with ASP.NET Core's dependency injection and configuration systems. Developers benefit from consistent APIs and Microsoft-supported implementations for common caching scenarios.

Integrates directly with ASP.NET Core's dependency injection and configuration systems, making setup straightforward and consistent with other ASP.NET components, as highlighted in the standardized interfaces.
Provides built-in implementations for SQL Server and Redis, allowing developers to choose based on their infrastructure without writing custom adapters, as specified in the key features.
Offers consistent APIs for caching operations, simplifying code maintenance and enabling easy switching between different cache providers, which aligns with the project's philosophy of modularity.
Effectively reduces database load and improves application response times by caching frequently accessed data in memory or distributed stores, as described in the value proposition.
This specific repository is archived, meaning it's no longer actively maintained here, and developers must refer to the aspnet/Extensions repo for updates, which can lead to confusion and outdated information.
Lacks native support for popular alternative cache stores like Memcached, requiring custom implementations for non-Microsoft environments, as it focuses primarily on SQL Server and Redis.
Heavily tailored for Microsoft technologies, such as SQL Server, which might not integrate well with mixed-technology stacks or open-source preferences, limiting flexibility.
