We'll be creating our backing data system as a simple Web API project. The goal is to expose a couple of endpoints on a single controller that expose data of different types to demonstrate how we can write the values to our cache regardless of the type discrepancy between the records. First, let's create our project with the .NET Core CLI. Let's look at the following command:
dotnet new webapi -n DataSimulation
Next, since we'll be hosting this project at the same time as our cache-ready application, we'll want to configure it to use its own port, instead of the default settings. Within your Program.cs file, modify your CreateWebHostBuilder(string[] args) method to use whatever custom URLs you want this application ...
