## 🎯 Overview  

This **.NET 9 Caching Solution** demonstrates multiple caching techniques using **ASP.NET Core**, including **In-Memory Caching, Distributed Caching (Redis), Output Caching, and Response Caching**. The goal is to **optimize API performance, reduce database load, and enhance scalability** for modern applications.  

> **Why Caching?**  

> - 🚀 **Speed Up Responses** – Reduce API response time with fast data retrieval.  

> - 🛠 **Reduce Server Load** – Minimize unnecessary database queries.  

> - 📈 **Scalability** – Handle high-traffic applications efficiently.

## 🌟 Features  

✅ **In-Memory Caching** – Fast, efficient caching within the application.  

✅ **Distributed Caching (Redis)** – Scalable caching solution for cloud and large-scale apps.  

✅ **Output Caching** – Caches entire HTTP responses to boost performance.  

✅ **Response Caching** – Adds caching headers for optimized client-side caching.  

✅ **Advanced Caching Strategies**:  

   - 🔹 **Sliding Expiration** – Keeps cache alive if frequently accessed.  

   - 🔹 **Post-Eviction Callbacks** – Logs when cache entries expire.  

   - 🔹 **Cache Dependencies** – Invalidates cache when related data changes.

## 🏗️ Architecture & Project Structure  

📌 **src/Caching.Api** – Main API project with caching endpoints.  

📌 **src/Caching.Api/Services** – Business logic for caching and product retrieval.  

📌 **src/Caching.Api/Endpoints** – Defines API routes for caching functionalities.  

### 🏛️ **Implemented Caching Techniques**  

🔹 **Memory Cache** – Stores frequently accessed data in-memory.  

🔹 **Redis Cache** – Provides distributed caching across multiple servers.  

🔹 **Output Cache** – Caches HTTP responses at the server level.  

🔹 **Response Cache** – Implements client-side cache control headers.  

---

## 🚀 Getting Started  

### **📌 Prerequisites**  

✅ [.NET 9 SDK](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet/9.0)  

✅ [Redis](https://redis.io/download) (for distributed caching)  

✅ [Docker](https://www.docker.com/) (optional for Redis container)  

### **Step 1: Clone the Repository**  

```bash

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/caching-solution.git

cd caching-solution

```

### **Step 2: Install Dependencies**  

```bash

dotnet restore

```

### **Step 3: Configure Redis (Optional, for Distributed Caching)**  

Update `appsettings.json`:  

```json

{

  "ConnectionStrings": {

    "Redis": "your_redis_connection_string"

  }

}

```

### **Step 4: Run Redis with Docker (Optional)**  

```bash

docker run -d -p 6379:6379 redis

```

### **Step 5: Run the Application**  

```bash

dotnet run --project src/Caching.Api

```

## 🧪 Testing  

### **Unit Tests**  

Run unit tests for caching and API responses:  

```bash

dotnet test

```

### **Manual API Testing**  

📌 **Use Postman or Swagger UI** to:  

✅ **Test without caching** → `/products`  

✅ **Enable caching** → `/memory-cache-products`  

✅ **Test Redis caching** → `/memory-redis-cache-products`  

✅ **Check output caching** → `/output-cache-products`
