CacheManager is an open-source caching abstraction layer for .NET written in C#, supporting multiple cache providers such as Redis, Memcached, and in-memory caches. It enables multi-layer caching setups with advanced features like cache synchronization, concurrent update handling, serialization, events, and logging.
Use cases
- add distributed caching to a .NET application
- combine in-process and Redis caching in layers
- swap cache providers without rewriting code
- handle concurrent cache updates in distributed systems
- keep multiple app instances' caches in sync with a backplane
- configure caching via JSON or app.config in ASP.NET Core
When to choose
- you are on .NET/.NET Core and need a unified API over multiple cache providers
- you need multi-layer caching (L1 in-memory in front of L2 distributed cache)
- you need safe concurrent update semantics or cache synchronization across instances
When to avoid
- you only need a single simple in-memory cache and prefer Microsoft's built-in IMemoryCache
- you rely on Memcached, Couchbase, or performance counters, which are no longer supported in v2+
- you are not on the .NET platform
