Entity Framework (EF) Core Installation

This page provides a guide on integrating NCache with Entity Framework (EF) Core as a Second-Level Cache (L2 Cache). By caching database results in NCache’s distributed cache memory, you can eliminate database latency and boost application performance. Here are the NuGet packages and namespaces that are required for a smooth integration.

Install NuGet Package for EFCore

Install the following NuGet packages to your EF Core application by executing the following command in the Package Manager Console:

• EntityFrameworkCore.NCache :

Install-Package EntityFrameworkCore.NCache

Include Namespaces for EF Core

To utilize the APIs, include the following namespaces in your EF Core application:

• Alachisoft.NCache.EntityFrameworkCore
• Alachisoft.NCache.Runtime.Caching

Sample Code

NCache provides a sample application for EF Core on GitHub.
