In-memory and distributed caching abstraction for .NET. Unified API across memory and Redis backends, with stampede protection, TTL policies, cache-aside pattern, and stale-while-revalidate support — designed for high-throughput services where cache misses are expensive.

Features

  • Unified API — Same interface for in-memory and distributed backends; swap providers without code changes
  • Stampede Protection — Lock-based cache population prevents thundering herd on cold keys
  • Stale-While-Revalidate — Serve stale data while refreshing in the background; never block on cache miss
  • TTL Policies — Absolute and sliding expiration with per-key and per-category defaults
  • Cache-Aside — Built-in GetOrSetAsync with factory delegate for clean cache-aside patterns
  • Serialization — Pluggable serialization (System.Text.Json default, MessagePack optional)
  • Tagging — Tag cache entries for bulk invalidation (e.g., invalidate all entries tagged "user:123")
  • Metrics — Hit/miss counters, eviction tracking, and cache size reporting
  • Single Registration — services.AddCacheKit()

Installation

dotnet add package JG.CacheKit

Quick Start

builder.Services.AddCacheKit(options =>
{
    options.UseMemory();                    // In-memory for dev
    // options.UseDistributed();           // Use with any registered IDistributedCache
    options.DefaultTtl = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(5);
    options.EnableStampedeProtection = true;
});

// Usage
public class ProductService(ICacheKit cache)
{
    public async Task<Product> GetProductAsync(string id) =>
        await cache.GetOrSetAsync(
            $"product:{id}",
            async ct => await LoadProductAsync(id, ct),
            new CacheEntryOptions { Ttl = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(10) });
}
