Azure Cache for Redis

Handle Redis outage with fallback and degraded mode

Explains how an API behaves when Redis is unavailable and which cache usages can safely fall back.

Measure cache health beyond hit rate

Explains cache observability across hit rate, latency, source load, memory, evictions, stale data, and fallback behavior.

Reuse StackExchange.Redis connections and set sane timeouts

Explains why Redis connections are reused, how timeouts protect API threads, and how to diagnose client-side Redis pressure.

Store session state safely in scaled-out ASP.NET Core

Explains session state choices for scaled-out ASP.NET Core APIs and when Redis-backed state is appropriate.

Distributed Caching & Redis

Redis, cache-aside, invalidation, sessions, stampedes, and cache operations.

A practical backend track covering distributed caching with Redis, cache-aside reads, TTLs, invalidation, key scope, stale data, sessions, stampedes, Redis outages, locks, rate limiting, memory pressure, and production observability.
