FastCache
A high-performance, lightweight, and thread-safe in-memory cache for .NET Core (.NET 6+), offering 7x-10x faster performance than MemoryCache.
What is FastCache?
FastCache is a high-performance, lightweight, and thread-safe in-memory caching library for .NET Core (.NET 6 and later). It solves the performance and memory overhead issues of the built-in MemoryCache by offering significantly faster read/write operations, generic typing to avoid boxing, and a minimalistic design without unnecessary features like performance counters or automatic memory pressure eviction.
.NET developers building high-performance applications that require efficient in-memory caching, especially those experiencing bottlenecks with the standard MemoryCache.
Developers choose FastCache for its exceptional speed (7x-10x faster than MemoryCache), low memory footprint (8KB DLL), and thread-safe atomic operations, making it ideal for performance-critical scenarios where caching latency and overhead must be minimized.
