This project leverages the IMemoryCache that's shipped as part of .NET/.NET Core SDKs to achieve in-memory caching specifically in monolithic environments. If you are looking for a distributed caching approach, then, my other project would be more suitable for you.
I have also blogged with a full explanation on how this is achieved.
- User A makes a request to our web service
- In-memory cache doesn’t have a value in place, it enters in to lock state and makes a request to the Users Service
- User B makes a request to our web service and waits till the lock is released
- This way, we can reduce the number of calls being made to the external web service. returns the response to our web service and the value is cached
- Lock is released, User A gets the response
- User B enters the lock and the cache provides the value (as long it’s not expired)
- User B gets the response
Open up in your favorte editor and do a dotnet run at the root of the project.
