People keep asking (thankfully π
) about my second course on Dometrain , Deep Dive Caching in .NET, so here's an update.
It's almost done π
It's really massive, contains all things caching and it took way more time than initially tought.
But: quality over speed (hopefully π).
For a limited time my course Getting Started Caching in .NET is available for a lifetime access over on Dometrain.
And yes, the second course, Deep Dive, is almost done & coming soon π₯³

In this video, we'll look at configuring FusionCache in an ASP NET Core app that's configured to use EF Core and Redis.
Watch it here:

FusionCache with Redis is a GAME CHANGER for EF Core Powered Web Apps
My favorite caching library is SO easy to configure a distributed cache alongside the in-memory cache. FusionCache makes it a cake walk!
It is a brand new initiative, they havenβt even released the initial catalog yet (theyβll do in a week or two), itβs super early days.
I saw it and thought to apply since Iβm european, thatβs it.
Weβll see how it evolve over time.
FusionCache has been approved by the European OpenSource project π
FusionCache is now part of the official @opentelemetry.io registry π₯³

Shout out to BenchmarkDotNet for no other reason than it's such an insanely good and robust piece of software.
There's a before and after BDN: without it, we would be in a very different place.
Kudos to Andrey Akinshin for creating and maintaining it.

Today @fusioncache.bsky.social turns 5 π
Hold tight little buddy, the best is yet to come.

π FusionCache docs
I just finished updating the FusionCache docs with the new bits about distributed stampede protection & memory+distributed locker.
In particular, I think the last part about Efficiency VS Correctnes is pretty important.

Thanks Luke!
π Oh, and about the docs
As mentioned in the release notes, I haven't updated them yet, not enough time.
But I'll do as soon as possible!
I just release FusionCache v2.5.0 π₯³
It includes a lot of stuff:
π‘οΈ Distributed Cache Stampede Protection
π Extensible Distributed Locking
βοΈ newMemoryCacheDuration option
π
Best Practices Advisor
βοΈ newIgnoreTimeoutsWhenDebugging option

βAnthropic even claim that prompt caching can reduce latency "by up to 85% for long prompts" and in my own testing I found that for a long enough prompt, this is true.β
Caching you say, interesting π

Over on Reddit π€
One of the best things I could have read about @fusioncache.bsky.social : "there is no weird syntax or any weird gotchas, it just works. Even for my team of mixed devs from jr, mid, senior, everyone just uses it without problem".
Thank you random citizen, you made my day π
π‘οΈ Cache Stampede, Distributed
FusionCache always had a robust and flexible Cache Stampede protection, which just worked.
And now the next step is coming: distributed stampede protection on multiple nodes.

Iβve been working on it days and nights from months, pouring everything Iβve learned in decades into it in an approachable way. There will be a lot of stuff, like, a lot a lot. I hope to complete it by the end of the year, but it may be a tiny bit more.
I really do hope it will be worth the wait.
π/π―: The .NET community is full of people building amazing things, and I want to help share those stories. The Modern .NET Show is booking guests for March 2026 onwards. If you've got a project, library, or experience worth discussing, let's record an episode.

For a limited time now lifetime access to my course on Dometrain is back π₯³
And using the code BLACKFRIDAY25 gives you a 40% discount, which is always a nice thing.

And what if you prefer Dometrain Pro?
The same BLACKFRIDAY25 code allows you to get a permanent 40% off there too.

I know it was probably a planned post but damn, not the best timing π
Sending hugs to the SRE team, keep tight.
Let them know, you'll made their day!
A couple of months ago I did a talk at NDC Copenhagen:

Being finally able to experience @ndcconferences.com for the first time has been a pleasure: the staff (thanks!), other speakers, food, parties.
All incredible, kudos to the organizers π
This feedback just landed in a GH comment on the FusionCache repo.
Today was a good day π
What is this thing of beauty?

yup
