Best practice on caching a WCF service

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

I need to create a WCF service that's going to do some pretty heavy database querying that I therefore want to cache. (System.Runtime.Caching)
For performance reasons it should also be multithreaded.

If I would set Instance Context Mode to PerCall I can't use MemoryCaching since the cache is recreated with every instance.
If I would set Instance Context Mode to Single and Concurrency Mode to Multiple, Caching would work just fine but I would need to make everything threadsafe.

Have I understood everything right?
Any better recommendations?

If you are dealing with heavy data then using system cache will not be a good solution. Instead you can try memcache or membase for caching data. Now most of the websites has started following this caching technique.
