Entity Framework Core Caching

The ADO.NET Entity Framework is a popular object-relational mapping framework. It provides abstraction from underlying relational data that is stored in a database and presents its conceptual schema to the application, preventing the need to write database persistence code.

Entity Framework can be seen in most of the high transaction applications where scalability and performance cannot be compromised. However, in such critical cases, the database quickly becomes a bottleneck as the database tier does not support adding on more servers. To achieve this scalability, NCache provides a pluggable in-memory cache provider to act as a second level cache and cache query results.
