SmartCache.NET

SmartCache.NET is a lightweight, high-performance caching executor for .NET applications. Designed with performance and simplicity in mind, it enables developers to optimize their code by reducing redundant operations using thread-safe, in-memory caching techniques.

Why SmartCache.NET?

• ✅ Thread-safe execution using ConcurrentDictionary and lock control
• ✅ Supports both synchronous and asynchronous execution patterns
• ✅ TTL-based (time-to-live) expiration and optional async refresh
• ✅ No third-party dependencies — pure .NET
• ✅ Ideal for high-load financial or API systems

How It Works

To use SmartCache.NET, simply wrap your expensive code block with:

var result = await Executor.Instance.GetDataAsync(() =>
{
  return ExpensiveOperation();
}, paramValues, 30, 10); // Cache for 30 secs, refresh after 10

Under the hood, SmartCache.NET:

• Generates a unique cache key based on the method and parameters
• Checks if data exists in cache — if yes, returns instantly
• If about to expire, returns cached data and triggers async refresh
• Ensures only one thread populates cache when expired

Performance Example

The included Program.cs demo simulates 10 parallel requests. Despite concurrency, the executor ensures only one actual execution happens:

  ---- Starting parallel calls ----
  [CodeBlock] Executed by Thread: 5
  [Total CodeBlock Executions]: 1
  [Total Time]: 510 ms
