Lightning-Fast Lookups in .NET Using MemoryCache

- 04.12.25 | 04.12.25 - ErcanOPAK

MemoryCache provides a simple and fast in-memory caching solution.

var item = cache.GetOrCreate("users", entry =>
{
entry.AbsoluteExpirationRelativeToNow = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(10);
return repo.GetUsers();
});

Ideal for configuration, lookups, and session data.
