You can use IMemoryCache if you want to cache just the query results server side or you can use Cache TagHelper to cache a specific part of the view which may or may not contain the results of that said query.

Also with IMemoryCache you can have global settings where with Cache TagHelper you'll have to do it manually for each tag use.

Fun fact: at its core Cache TagHelper implementation uses an instance of an IMemoryCache.
