Description

Summary

Implement Microsoft.Extensions.Caching.Hybrid.HybridCache backed by StackExchange.Redis.Extensions.

What is HybridCache

HybridCache (.NET 9+) combines L1 (in-memory) and L2 (distributed) caching with stampede protection. It's the recommended caching abstraction going forward, replacing IDistributedCache for most scenarios.

Proposed Integration

services.AddStackExchangeRedisExtensions<SystemTextJsonSerializer>(config);
services.AddRedisHybridCache(); // registers HybridCache with Redis as L2

Considerations

  • Requires .NET 9+ (net9.0/net10.0 TFMs only)
  • Needs `IDistributedCache` as a prerequisite (#632)
  • Stampede protection is built into HybridCache — we just need the L2 backend
  • Serialization should use our `ISerializer` for consistency

Research direction

Start by reviewing the proposed AddRedisHybridCache entry point and the IDistributedCache prerequisite in issue #632. Confirm how Microsoft.Extensions.Caching.Hybrid.HybridCache can use Redis as L2 and the existing ISerializer, targeting net9.0/net10.0; done means the service registration provides HybridCache with Redis-backed L2 caching and consistent serialization.
