What are some effective caching techniques in ASP.NET Core?

In ASP.NET Core, you can use several caching techniques such as in-memory caching, distributed caching, and response caching. Each has its own use cases.

Can you explain in-memory caching and when to use it?

In-memory caching stores data in the memory of the web server. It's best for scenarios where you need fast access to frequently used data, but it's not suitable for distributed applications.

What about distributed caching? How does it work?

Distributed caching allows multiple servers to share cached data. This is useful for load-balanced applications where you want to ensure all servers have access to the same cached data.

Are there any built-in caching providers in ASP.NET Core?

Yes, ASP.NET Core provides built-in support for in-memory caching and distributed caching with providers like Redis and SQL Server.
