c# - 缓存最佳实践 - 单个对象还是多个条目？

Question

对于在 C# ASP.net 应用程序中缓存数据时哪种方法更好，有人有什么建议吗？

我目前结合使用两种方法，一些数据(列表、字典、通常的特定领域信息)直接放入缓存并在需要时装箱，一些数据保存在全局数据类中，并且通过该类检索(即 GlobalData 类被缓存，它的属性是实际数据)。

哪种方法更可取？

我觉得从并发的角度来看，单独缓存每个项目会更明智，但是从长远来看，它会产生更多的工作，更多的功能纯粹是处理从缓存位置获取数据实用类。

建议将不胜感激。

通常缓存的性能比底层源(例如数据库)好得多，缓存的性能不是问题。主要目标是获得尽可能高的缓存命中率(除非您正在大规模开发，因为这样优化缓存也会有返回)。

为了实现这一点，我通常尽量让开发人员尽可能直接地使用缓存(这样我们就不会因为开发人员懒得使用缓存而错过任何缓存命中的机会)。在某些项目中，我们使用了 Microsoft 企业库中可用的 CacheHandler 的修改版本。

使用 CacheHandler(使用 Policy Injection )，您只需向方法添加一个属性，就可以轻松地使方法“可缓存”。比如这个:

[CacheHandler(0, 30, 0)]
public Object GetData(Object input)
{
}

将使对该方法的所有调用缓存 30 分钟。所有调用都会根据输入数据和方法名称获得唯一的缓存键，因此如果您使用不同的输入调用该方法两次，它不会被缓存，但如果您在超时间隔内使用相同的输入调用它 >1 次，则方法只执行一次。

我们的修改版本如下所示:

Microsoft 因这段代码而功劳最大。我们只在请求级别而不是跨请求添加了诸如缓存之类的东西(比您想象的更有用)并修复了一些错误(例如，序列化为不同值的相等 DateTime 对象)。
