Garnet is a Redis (RESP) compatible cache from Microsoft Research, it’s used internally within Microsoft but as it’s a research project it’s possible the design etc. will change/evolve.

Not only is is Redis compatible, it’s written in C#, so ideal for .NET native environments. Check out the Garnet website for more information

I’ve shown code to interact from C#/.NET to Redis in the past, the same code will work with Garnet.

Here’s a Dockerfile to create an instance of Garnet

services:
  garnet:
    image: 'ghcr.io/microsoft/garnet'
    ulimits:
      memlock: -1
    container_name: garnet
    ports:
      - "6379:6379"
