C# 7 and .NET Core 2.0 High Performance

By: Ovais Mehboob Ahmed Khan

Overview of this book

While writing an application, performance is paramount. Performance tuning for realworld applications often involves activities geared toward fnding bottlenecks; however, this cannot solve the dreaded problem of slower code. If you want to improve the speed of your code and optimize an application's performance, then this book is for you. C# 7 and .NET Core 2.0 High Performance begins with an introduction to the new features of what?explaining how they help in improving an application's performance. Learn to identify the bottlenecks in writing programs and highlight common performance pitfalls, and learn strategies to detect and resolve these issues early. You will explore multithreading and asynchronous programming with .NET Core and learn the importance and effcient use of data structures. This is followed with memory management techniques and design guidelines to increase an application’s performance. Gradually, the book will show you the importance of microservices architecture for building highly performant applications and implementing resiliency and security in .NET Core. After reading this book, you will learn how to structure and build scalable, optimized, and robust applications in C#7 and .NET.

Tools and techniques to measure performance

There are various tools available on the market that can be used to measure and monitor application performance. In this section, we will focus on App Metrics and analyse HTTP traffic, errors, and network performance.

Introducing App Metrics

App Metrics is an open source tool that can be plug in with the ASP.NET Core applications. It provides real-time insights about how the application is performing and provides a complete overview of the application's health status. It provides metrics in a JSON format and integrates with the Grafana dashboards for visual reporting. App Metrics is based on .NET Standard and runs cross-platform. It provides various extensions and reporting...
