How does LINQ interact with caching layers?

Updated May 16, 2026

Short answer

LINQ queries can be cached at different layers but require careful materialization strategy.

Deep explanation

Caching query results improves performance but must consider query determinism and data freshness. IQueryable should not be cached directly; instead, materialized results should be stored. Improper caching can lead to stale or inconsistent data.
