I will host my ASP.NET MVC4 app as a redundant Azure app. During a session, the app performs computationally expensive operations that produce non-serializable objects. Creation of the objects is repeatable; I could perform the expensive operation each time I need the object, but I would prefer to just do it the first time and save the object for later reuse.

I want to use the standard distributed session state mechanism in Azure for storing the usual session state info, but that mechanism requires that session data be serializable. Is there another mechanism I can use to cache the expensive-to-create, non-serializable objects?

    Do these objects have to be stored in centralized storage or can you store them in the “InProc” session state?

    If not, I’m afraid you’ll need to serialize them into something (either SQL Azure, file, app-fabric cache, etc).

    So either find a way to serialize them into something persistable or store them in RAM, with an extra copy on every web server
