NCache integrates seemingly with the ASP.NET Core framework. With NCache, we can cache application data or responses in our ASP.NET Core applications. Let’s take a look at another NCache feature for ASP.NET Core applications: Session State Caching with ASP.NET Core. HTTP and Session State A bit of background first. HTTP is a stateless protocol. It…
According to a recent survey by Positive Technologies, data leakage vulnerabilities and security problems affect 44% of web apps. Sensitive data is present in all web apps and data theft happens when that data is improperly secured. So, for appropriate data protection, ASP.NET Core uses cryptographic APIs, besides the encryption algorithm to protect data and…
Distributed cache is becoming very popular because it is a powerful way to boost your application performance and scalability and handle extreme transaction load without slowing down. Both .NET and Java applications are using it more and more each day. But, one challenge people face with distributed cache is how to map and store relational…
Did you hear about eBay using MongoDB as their primary database? Now, why would a multinational e-commerce firm like eBay use MongoDB and not a traditional RDBMS? It’s because MongoDB has been a hot topic among the developers for its distributed key-value store and document-oriented NoSQL features. And, if eBay is using it then I’m…
Securing cached data in a multi-data center environment is paramount. There’s no denying that. But is securing data enough to ensure you have secured your cache environment? I’d beg to differ; it’s not nearly enough. Along with data security, you need to make sure your cache and server nodes are safe from unauthorized access as well.…
Looking around us, we see hundreds and thousands of real-time web applications that thrive on availability, reliability, and constant feedback. For example, with the Premier League (a top level of the English football league system) matches currently going on, many people have shown interest in betting against these matches. As a result, the leading real-time…
ASP.NET today is widely used for high traffic web applications that need to handle millions of users and are deployed in load balanced web farms. One important part of ASP.NET is View State that many applications use. ASP.NET View State is a very powerful mechanism that stores pages, controls and custom values between multiple HTTP…
If your ASP.NET application only has a few users, you probably don’t care how fast or slow it is and it is probably giving you pretty good performance anyway. But, as you add more load to your ASP.NET application, the chances are quite high that ASP.NET performance will drop significantly. It might even grind to…
A distributed cache is essential for any application that demands fast performance during extreme transaction loads. An in-memory distributed cache performs better than a database. And, it can provide linear scalability in handling greater transaction loads because it can easily let you add more servers to the cache cluster that a database server cannot do.…
