Building RESTful Web Services with .NET Core

Second-level caching

Second-level caching is important for applications that have been developed in a mostly distributed manner or have-long running requests that need persisted data, such as web applications. Second-level caching exists outside the scope of a transaction or application, and these caches are available for any context or instance. You can use the caching mechanism available to your application instead of writing your own code, such as Memcached.
