What are the best practices for cache management in MVC applications?

Some best practices include using output caching, setting appropriate cache durations, and invalidating cache when data changes.

Can you explain output caching and how it works?

Output caching stores the rendered output of a view, so subsequent requests can be served faster without reprocessing.

How do I invalidate the cache when my data changes?

You can invalidate the cache by using cache dependencies or by explicitly removing cached items when data updates occur.

Are there any tools or libraries that can help with cache management?

Yes, tools like Redis, Memcached, and built-in ASP.NET caching features can greatly assist in managing cache effectively.
