Can you tell about different types of lifecycles used in IoC containers?

In IoC (Inversion of Control) containers, the lifecycle (lifetime) defines how long the created object will exist and when it will be destroyed. Main types of lifecycles:

• Transient — a new instance is created each time it is requested. Used for lightweight, stateless objects.
• Scoped — an instance is created once per scope, for example, per HTTP request in a web application. Allows sharing objects within a single request.
• Singleton — one instance is created for the entire duration of the application and reused.

The choice depends on the requirements for the object's state and its usage. For example, stateless services are often transient, while services with caching are singleton.
