Is it possible to run Redis in a w / .net process?

Question

Is it possible to run Redis in a process under .NET?

I understand that the common use case for Redis does not work, and probably on a different server. The application I'm working on requires both process caching and process caching. My thinking here is that I would like to use the same application / library for both the process and the process.

No, you cannot do this. You must use a Cache or similar process.

But you're definitely on the right track by doing 2-level caching (L1 + L2). Packet exchange does this. See for example:
