I wonder if anyone has tried velocity in a production environment. It is in CTP2 version right now, and we are thinking of using it. Has anyone tried it? If yes was it a positive experience?
A:
My personal take on this would be that you should use Memcache till Velocity stabilizes. .net clients for Memcache like Enyim have stood the test of time and used by many.
- Use a provider independent CacheManager
- Implement one for memcached.
- Tomorrow if things change and you still want Velocity, change the provider.
After all, these are just dictionaries and your domain code should be independent of the infrastructure.

Yes! Velocity 1.0 has been released as a part of AppFabric. You can download it from Microsoft.
