🧱 Core Building Blocks

Feature Description
Caching In-memory, Redis, and hybrid caching with automatic invalidation
Queues Reliable message queuing with Redis, Azure, AWS SQS
Locks Distributed locking and throttling
Messaging Pub/sub with Redis, RabbitMQ, Kafka, Azure Service Bus
Jobs Background job processing with queue integration
File Storage Unified file API for disk, S3, Azure Blob, and more
Resilience Retry policies, circuit breakers, and timeouts

🚀 Quick Start

dotnet add package Foundatio
// Caching
ICacheClient cache = new InMemoryCacheClient();
await cache.SetAsync("user:123", user, TimeSpan.FromMinutes(5));
var cached = await cache.GetAsync<User>("user:123");

// Queuing
IQueue<WorkItem> queue = new InMemoryQueue<WorkItem>();
await queue.EnqueueAsync(new WorkItem { Data = "Hello" });
var entry = await queue.DequeueAsync();

// File Storage
IFileStorage storage = new InMemoryFileStorage();
await storage.SaveFileAsync("docs/readme.txt", "Hello World");

// Distributed Locks
ILockProvider locker = new CacheLockProvider(cache, messageBus);
await using var handle = await locker.AcquireAsync("resource-key");
