Entity Framework (EF) Core Cache

ADO.NET Entity Framework is a popular object-relational mapping framework. It abstracts the underlying relational data stored in a database and presents its conceptual schema to the application layer. This eliminates the need to write any database persistence code.

Note

This feature is also available in NCache Professional.

Entity Framework Core is used by most high transaction applications where scalability and performance are non-negotiable. However, in such critical cases, the database quickly becomes a bottleneck, as the database tier does not support adding more servers. To achieve this scalability, NCache provides extension methods for Entity Framework Core to configure EFCore Cache.
