[[{“value”:”Want to make your .NET applications faster without overcomplicating your architecture? In this @VisualStudioLive session from Visual Studio Live! Las Vegas 2026, Jason Bock walks through practical caching strategies in .NET—from simple in-memory caching to distributed and hybrid approaches.
Through real code examples, you’ll learn how to improve performance, reduce repeated data access, and balance speed with memory usage using built-in .NET caching APIs.
🔑 What You’ll Learn
• Why caching is essential for improving application performance and user experience
• How to use in-memory caching with IMemoryCache in .NET
• Managing cache expiration, eviction policies, and memory pressure
• When to use distributed caching in modern, scalable applications
• How Hybrid Cache (new in .NET 9) simplifies local + distributed caching
• Understanding cache stampede protection and how it improves efficiency
• Real-world examples of caching static and frequently accessed data
