AppFabric hosting/management replacement [closed]

Question

With the news from April that Microsoft will be ending support for AppFabric 1.1 April 2016. Can anyone recommend replacement services for Hosting and Management/Monitoring of Services and Workflows.

Microsoft suggest customers can manually host their own services #copOut and custom solutions can be built to produce management and monitoring #copOutAgain.

I am only beginning to investigate WCF for middletier and AppFabric seemed ideal. Seems such a pity that they are going to end it after only 5 years without giving good reason.

For Workflow services, there don't seem to be any viable alternatives yet, though there is still time for someone to come out with a product. – Interfuse

FWIW, the AppFabric support lifecycle has been extended until April 2017 (mainstream support) and April 2022 (extended support) respectively. So there's still some time for alternative solutions to spring up... I hope. – Kanchenjunga

The reason isn't hard to discern. Why support a free framework when you can tell everyone to use Azure's PaaS offerings (and extract a monthly fee)? – Earflap

Answer 1

The end of support was extended until 4/12/2022. Advice on how and where to migrate are recommended in the official article of Microsoft. They talk about NCache and a new project RedisOnWindows from MSOpen Tech.

According to the official Microsoft product lifecycle, the extended support for AppFabric 1.1 will end in 2022

Most of the links from the previous response are broken and the MSOpen Tech Redis on Windows is retired or archived.
