Add implementation of IDistributedCache and HybridCache

[jeastham1993]

.NET has built in abstractions for caching. Namely IDistributedCache and in .NET 9 the new HybridCache.

Caching services like Redis add an implementation of the IDistributedCache interface making it easy to add Redis by adding a dependency on Microsoft.Extensions.Caching.StackExchangeRedis and adding the following code to the application startup.

builder.Services.AddStackExchangeRedisCache(options =>
{
    options.Configuration = builder.Configuration["RedisConnectionString"];
    options.InstanceName = "Orders";
});

This also makes it easy to switch out caching technologies, for example using an InMemory cache when working locally and Redis when running in production.

It would be great if Momento can add support, with syntax similar to:

builder.Services.AddMomentoCache(options =>
{
    options.ApiKey = builder.Configuration["MomentoApiKey"];
    options.CacheName = "Orders";
});

I have a working example of this, if you can let me know the best way to contribute my implementation I can raise a PR.

Hi @jeastham1993,

This is a popular topic it seems :-)

We actually have an open issue for integrating with ASP.NET's IDistributedCache here, and someone has already developed an initial implementation you can find here.

We'd love for you to take a look at that and share any feedback or ideas you might have to improve it. If you're still interested in contributing, feel free to discuss further in the issue thread!

Thanks again for your interest and reaching out!
