The post explores experimental dependency injection scopes beyond the standard Singleton, Scoped, and Transient lifetimes in .NET Core. It discusses hypothetical lifetimes such as tenant-scoped, pooled, and time-based (drifter) services, inspired by a podcast discussion. The post details implementations of these lifetimes, focusing particularly on time-based services, and highlights their characteristics and limitations. The implementation challenges, particularly with IDisposable services, are also covered.
