Enterprise Application Architecture with .NET Core

Local cache

Local cache is local to each single instance of an application. For each instance, there will be a separate cache store, and the content is saved for each instance's cache. Although there might be inconsistencies in data between the different cache stores for each instance, this is fast and mostly good in cases where the data does not change often. For example, configuration data or setup tables, which are not updated frequently, can use this cache. A good example would be a list of all the countries or cities. Azure provides a local cache mechanism using In-Role Cache, whereas, in .NET Core, we can use IMemoryCache to implement local caching.
