Support for eager refresh in FusionCache
FusionCache includes a great feature called eager refresh that can help you keep your cache updated with the latest data while ensuring responsiveness at the same time. When you enable this feature, you can specify a custom duration for your cached data and also a percentage threshold, as shown in the code snippet below.
options => options.SetDuration(TimeSpan.FromMinutes(1))
options => options.SetEagerRefresh(0.5f)
Note how the cache duration has been set to 1 minute while the eager refresh threshold is set to 50% of the cache duration. When a new request arrives and your cached data is older than 50% of the cache duration (i.e., after 31 seconds), FusionCache will return the cached data and then refresh the cache in the background to ensure that the cache is updated.
