This project leverages the IDistributedCache that's shipped as part of .NET/.NET Core SDKs to achieve distributed caching in a microservices environment. If you are looking for a monolithing caching approach, then, my other project would be more suitable for you.
I've also blogged this with a full explanation of how this is achieved.
Note: I have recently migrated this project to .NET 6 and also a docker-compose.yaml for better dev experience 🎉 You can still access the old version from the .NET 5 branch in this repo.
- User requests a user object.
- App server checks if we already have a user in the cache and return the object if present.
- App server makes a HTTP call to retrieve the list of users.
- Users service returns the users list to the app server.
- App server sends the users list to the distributed (Redis) cache.
- App server gets the cached version until it expires (TTL).
- User gets the cached user object.
