Foundatio.Utf8Json

Pluggable foundation blocks for building loosely coupled distributed apps.

✨ Why Choose Foundatio?

• 🔌 Pluggable implementations - Swap Redis, Azure, AWS, or in-memory with no code changes
• 🧪 Developer friendly - In-memory implementations for fast local development and testing
• 💉 DI native - Built for Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection
• 🎯 Interface-first - Code against abstractions, not implementations
• ⚡ Production ready - Battle-tested in high-scale applications
• 🔄 Consistent APIs - Same patterns across caching, queues, storage, and more

🧱 Core Building Blocks

🚀 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");
