Caching in C#
The lesson introduces caching as a performance strategy, illustrated by a real-world e-commerce platform where caching SQL queries and storing results in-memory reduced page load times from 20 seconds to 300 ms. We cover cache invalidation, warm-up scripts, and the general principle that any deterministic slow operation whose output rarely changes is a good candidate for caching.
