Working with Cache using Immutable Collections

A Use Case of Immutable Collections

Medium Article: A Use Case of Immutable Collections

Caching can greatly improve an application’s performance by reducing the trips to fetch data that changes infrequently. The consistency of cached values is critical at run-time.

This blog post will use the simplest cache IMemoryCache in .NET Core to demonstrate usages of Immutable Collections, which is also native in .NET framework. The sample code is in this GitHub repository.
