Object Caching in ASP.NET Core

Object caching in ASP.NET Core allows multiple application servers to utilize NCache as a high-performance shared cache, significantly boosting application responsiveness and horizontal scalability. By moving frequently accessed data from the database to an in-memory distributed layer, NCache reduces data access latency and prevents database bottlenecks in high-load environments. Developers can integrate NCache as an ASP.NET Core cache using either the standard IDistributedCache API for basic operations or the native NCache API to leverage advanced features like cache dependencies and SQL-like querying.
