Redis offers high performance, scalability, and supports various data structures. It can significantly reduce database load and improve response times.

Can you show me a code example for caching a database query result?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

var cacheKey = "myData";
if (!redisCache.TryGetValue(cacheKey, out MyData data)) {
    data = await _dbContext.MyData.FindAsync(id);
    redisCache.Set(cacheKey, data);
}

You can set an expiration time when you store data in Redis using the Set method. For example, redisCache.Set(cacheKey, data, TimeSpan.FromMinutes(30)); will expire the cache after 30 minutes.
