Caching content read from a large set of files in a ASP.NET core web api

Question

I'm developing an asp.net core web api that will need to return data read from a large set of files and I'm worried about anything that may cause the app domain to shutdown meaning that this large set of file would have to be read once more on the first subsequent request.

I was evaluating thus writing a windows service that would do the files reading and act as a "cache service".

I would appreciate comments on this approach.

Answer 1

You could store content of your files to Redis cache.
