INTRODUCTION

Welcome to the DigiInsight smartcache_samples repository.
This repository contains sample code and examples to help you understand and effectively use the DigiInsight SmartCache.

The samples cover a wide range of use cases and demonstrate the capabilities and features of the SmartCache. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, these samples will provide valuable insights into the workings of DigiInsight SmartCache.

GETTING STARTED

Step 01: clone the repo and open SmartCache.Samples.sln solution

you can use the following solutions:

• SmartCache.Samples.sln to run the samples using diginsight as a package reference.
• SmartCache.Samples.Debug.sln to run the samples using diginsight code as a project reference
  

  pleae, note that diginsight telemetry and smartcache repositories must also be cloned on the same root folder as smartcache_samples repository.

Step 02: run SampleWebApi and call getplants operation

After running the sample you'll obtain se service swagger shown:

After calling the operation your %userprofile%\LogFiles\Diginsight folder will contain the SampleWebApi log file:

Please note the call has a cache miss from PlantsController.GetPlantsAsync and latency is over 1 second when obtaining data from PlantsController.GetPlantsImplAsync.

Step 02:call getplants operation a second time

The second time you call PlantsController.GetPlantsAsync you'll get a cache hit and latency will be 5ms.
