AppFabric Cache to NCache Migration

NCache provides an AppFabric Cache wrapper that makes migration to NCache seamless. This process is critical since Microsoft discontinued AppFabric in April 2022. Therefore, there is now no official support, bug fixes, security platform, or compatibility updates - making AppFabric a risky product to use in a production environment.

NCache is the ideal alternative as it is a 100% .NET native distributed caching solution that runs on a Windows platform. It is very feature-rich and stable. Moreover, it provides easy options to replace AppFabric in your applications with NCache. Further, you can migrate to NCache with minimal code change.

In this section, you will understand the core configuration differences between AppFabric Cache and NCache and the steps required for seamless migration.
