• Entity Framework Integration: Second Level Caching and Query capabilities via lambda queries and LINQ.
• IDistributedCache Implementation: Convenience for .NET developers who uses IDistributedCache, a .NET standard for distributed in-memory caching.
• Pipelining API: Adding pipeline to any asynchronous call so that the performance improves.
