This repo contains the Microsoft.Extensions.Caching.Distributed.IDistributedCache provider for the Polly Cache policy. The current version targets .NET Standard 1.1, .NET Standard 2.0 and .NET Standard 2.1.
Polly is a .NET resilience and transient-fault-handling library that allows developers to express policies such as Retry, Circuit Breaker, Timeout, Bulkhead Isolation, Cache aside and Fallback in a fluent and thread-safe manner.
Polly is a member of the .NET Foundation.

This project, Polly.Caching.Distributed, allows you to use Polly's CachePolicy with implementations of .Net Standard's IDistributedCache.
Install-Package Polly.Caching.Distributed
Polly.Caching.Distributed >= v3.0.1 supports .NET Standard 1.1, .NET Standard 2.0 and .NET Standard 2.1.

Polly.Caching.Distributed >=v3.0.1 requires:
- Polly >= v7.1.1.
Polly.Caching.Distributed v3.0.0 requires:
- Polly >= v7.0.0.
Polly.Caching.Distributed >=v2.0 and <v3 requires:
- Polly >= v6.0.1 and <v7.
Polly.Caching.IDistributedCache <v2.0 requires:
- Polly v5.4.0 or above.
These notes assume you are familiar with using the .Net Standard IDistributedCache implementations. For information, see: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/performance/caching/distributed . As described on that page, Microsoft provide a Redis implementation and an SQL server implementation for IDistributedCache.
Assuming you have an instance IDistributedCache distributedCache in hand (perhaps just configured and instantiated, perhaps provided to local code by Dependency Injection):
// Create a Polly cache policy for caching string results, using that IDistributedCache instance.
var cachePolicy = Policy.Cache<string>(distributedCache.AsSyncCacheProvider<string>(), TimeSpan.FromMinutes(5));
// Create a Polly cache policy for caching byte[] results, using that IDistributedCache instance.
var cachePolicy = Policy.Cache<byte[]>(distributedCache.AsSyncCacheProvider<byte[]>(), TimeSpan.FromMinutes(5));
// Or similarly for async executions returning string results:
var cachePolicy = Policy.CacheAsync<string>(distributedCache.AsAsyncCacheProvider<string>(), TimeSpan.FromMinutes(5));
// Or similarly for async executions returning byte[] results:
var cachePolicy = Policy.CacheAsync<byte[]>(distributedCache.AsAsyncCacheProvider<byte[]>(), TimeSpan.FromMinutes(5));
// You can also use ASP.NET Core's DistributedCacheEntryOptions for specifying cache item time-to-live, as shown below.
// All time-to-live functionality represented by DistributedCacheEntryOptions is supported.
DistributedCacheEntryOptions entryOptions = // ...
var cachePolicy = Policy.CacheAsync<byte[]>(distributedCache.AsAsyncCacheProvider<byte[]>(), entryOptions.AsTtlStrategy());
// In this example we choose to pass a whole PolicyRegistry by dependency injection rather than the individual policy, on the assumption the webapp will probably use multiple policies across the app.
// For example:
public class Startup
{
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
services.AddDistributedRedisCache(options =>
{
options.Configuration = "localhost"; // or whatever
options.InstanceName = "SampleInstance";
});
services.AddSingleton<Polly.Caching.IAsyncCacheProvider<string>>(serviceProvider => serviceProvider.GetRequiredService<IDistributedCache>().AsAsyncCacheProvider<string>());
services.AddSingleton<Polly.Registry.IReadOnlyPolicyRegistry<string>, Polly.Registry.PolicyRegistry>((serviceProvider) =>
{
PolicyRegistry registry = new PolicyRegistry();
registry.Add("myCachePolicy", Policy.CacheAsync<string>(serviceProvider.GetRequiredService<IAsyncCacheProvider<string>>(), TimeSpan.FromMinutes(5)));
return registry;
});
// ...
}
}
// In a controller, inject the policyRegistry and retrieve the policy:
// (magic string "myCachePolicy" hard-coded here only to keep the example simple)
public MyController(IReadOnlyPolicyRegistry<string> policyRegistry)
{
var _cachePolicy = policyRegistry.Get<IAsyncPolicy<string>>("myCachePolicy");
// ...
}The raw cache provider Polly.Caching.IDistributedCache allows you to cache items of type byte[] or string as those are the native formats supported by Microsoft.Extensions.Caching.Distributed.IDistributedCache. However, Polly also allows you to automatically serialize more complex types.
The package Polly.Caching.Serialization.Json (github; nuget) is a Polly ICacheItemSerializer<TResult, string> to serialize any type for use with Polly.Caching.IDistributedCache.
Configuration in .NET Core:
public class Startup
{
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
services.AddDistributedRedisCache(options =>
{
options.Configuration = "localhost"; // or whatever
options.InstanceName = "SampleInstance";
});
// Obtain a Newtonsoft.Json.JsonSerializerSettings defining any settings to use for serialization
// (could alternatively be obtained from a factory by DI)
var serializerSettings = new JsonSerializerSettings()
{
// Any configuration options
};
// Register a Polly cache provider for caching ProductDetails entities, using the IDistributedCache instance and a Polly.Caching.Serialization.Json.JsonSerializer.
// (ICacheItemSerializer<ProductDetails, string> could alternatively be obtained from a factory by DI)
services.AddSingleton<Polly.Caching.IAsyncCacheProvider<ProductDetails>>(serviceProvider =>
serviceProvider
.GetRequiredService<IDistributedCache>()
.AsAsyncCacheProvider<string>()
.WithSerializer<ProductDetails, string>(
new Polly.Caching.Serialization.Json.JsonSerializer<ProductDetails>(serializerSettings)
);
// Register a Polly cache policy for caching ProductDetails entities, using that IDistributedCache instance.
services.AddSingleton<Polly.Registry.IReadOnlyPolicyRegistry<string>, Polly.Registry.PolicyRegistry>((serviceProvider) =>
{
PolicyRegistry registry = new PolicyRegistry();
registry.Add("productsCachePolicy", Policy.CacheAsync<ProductDetails>(serviceProvider.GetRequiredService<IAsyncCacheProvider<ProductDetails>>(), TimeSpan.FromMinutes(5)));
return registry;
});
// ...
}
}
// In a controller, inject the policyRegistry and retrieve the policy:
// (magic string "productsCachePolicy" hard-coded here only to keep the example simple)
public MyController(IReadOnlyPolicyRegistry<string> policyRegistry)
{
var _cachePolicy = policyRegistry.Get<IAsyncPolicy<ProductDetails>>("productsCachePolicy");
// ...
}string productId = // ... from somewhere
string productDescription = await _cachePolicy.ExecuteAsync(context => getProductDescription(productId),
new Context(productId) // productId will also be the cache key used in this execution.
); For many more configuration options and usage examples of the main Polly CachePolicy, see the main Polly readme and deep doco on the Polly wiki. Additional overloads allow attaching delegates for cache errors, cache hits/misses etc, for logging and telemetry.
CachePolicy can of course also be combined with other policies in a PolicyWrap.
