Check out this video for how you can get your ASP NET Core applications running with Garnet and FusionCache as a hybrid cache solution!

For a limited time my course on Dometrain is available for lifetime acces, and to celebrate Dometrain’s birthday it’s also 40% off.

A good way to be ready for the second part, Deep Dive, which I’m almost done editing 🎉

Was I the only one who didn't know?

If you Google for "%NAME% font" the page is rendered with that font 🤣

I took some time to update the FusionCache docs, in particular the massive Step By Step page.

I added some of the missing bits, like the Distributed Stampede Protection and a section about how to optimize the Redis usage.

I hope you enjoy it.

Just ONE LINE of Code! FusionCache as Hybrid Cache in ASP NET Core

In this video series, we've been working with Entity Framework Core, Dapper, Redis, and different caching tools that we have access to in ASP NET Core.

🫣

People keep asking (thankfully 😅) about my second course on Dometrain , Deep Dive Caching in .NET, so here's an update.

It's almost done 🎉

It's really massive, contains all things caching and it took way more time than initially tought.

But: quality over speed (hopefully 🙏).

Getting Started with Caching in .NET - Dometrain Let's make the hardest thing in programming easy for .NET software engineers.

For a limited time my course Getting Started Caching in .NET is available for a lifetime access over on Dometrain.

And yes, the second course, Deep Dive, is almost done & coming soon 🥳

In this video, we'll look at configuring FusionCache in an ASP NET Core app that's configured to use EF Core and Redis.

FusionCache with Redis is a GAME CHANGER for EF Core Powered Web Apps

My favorite caching library is SO easy to configure a distributed cache alongside the in-memory cache. FusionCache makes it a cake walk!

It is a brand new initiative, they haven’t even released the initial catalog yet (they’ll do in a week or two), it’s super early days.
I saw it and thought to apply since I’m european, that’s it.
We’ll see how it evolve over time.

FusionCache has been approved by the European OpenSource project 🎉

FusionCache is now part of the official @opentelemetry.io registry 🥳

📕 FusionCache docs
I just finished updating the FusionCache docs with the new bits about distributed stampede protection & memory+distributed locker.

In particular, I think the last part about Efficiency VS Correctnes is pretty important.

Thanks Luke!

📕 Oh, and about the docs

As mentioned in the release notes, I haven't updated them yet, not enough time.

But I'll do as soon as possible!

Prompt caching: 10x cheaper LLM tokens, but how? | ngrok blog A far more detailed explanation of prompt caching than anyone asked for.

“Anthropic even claim that prompt caching can reduce latency "by up to 85% for long prompts" and in my own testing I found that for a long enough prompt, this is true.”

Caching you say, interesting 😏

Over on Reddit 🤖

One of the best things I could have read about @fusioncache.bsky.social : "there is no weird syntax or any weird gotchas, it just works. Even for my team of mixed devs from jr, mid, senior, everyone just uses it without problem".

Thank you random citizen, you made my day 🙂

🛡️ Cache Stampede, Distributed

FusionCache always had a robust and flexible Cache Stampede protection, which just worked.

And now the next step is coming: distributed stampede protection on multiple nodes.

I’ve been working on it days and nights from months, pouring everything I’ve learned in decades into it in an approachable way. There will be a lot of stuff, like, a lot a lot. I hope to complete it by the end of the year, but it may be a tiny bit more.
I really do hope it will be worth the wait.
