AppFabric hosting/management replacement

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.

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.

Answer 2

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.
