I'm using Microsoft.Extensions.Caching.Memory, as I hav read it is the newer implementation of System.Runtime.Caching.
I have been reading that it's not recommended to have more than one instances of MemoryCache along the application to take advantage of the memory management.
I need to store more than one type of elements in the Cache. Currently I'm using tuples as keys to locate items in cache. But maybe I need to use it on more classes.
I can do it using my IoC like Autofac to include it as a Singleton and maybe doing some interface to encapsulate the cache management.
I can use tuples to store key type and key, or avoid using tuples and creating a class to represent different type of keys implementing IEquatable.
public void AddItem(object key, object value){
_memoryCache.Add((keyType: key.GetType().FullName, keyValue: key), value);
}
What is the best solution to store different type of items and get them also? It's true that it's not recommended to have more than one instance of MemoryCache? I'm searching for a good solution in terms of performance to get items as fast as possible.
