ASP.NET Core 2 High Performance - Second Edition

By: James Singleton

Overview of this book

The ASP.NET Core 2 framework is used to develop high-performance and cross-platform web applications. It is built on .NET Core 2 and includes significantly more framework APIs than version 1. This book addresses high-level performance improvement techniques. It starts by showing you how to locate and measure problems and then shows you how to solve some of the most common ones. Next, it shows you how to get started with ASP.NET Core 2 on Windows, Mac, Linux, and with Docker containers. The book illustrates what problems can occur as latency increases when deploying to a cloud infrastructure. It also shows you how to optimize C# code and choose the best data structures for the job. It covers new features in C# 6 and 7, along with parallel programming and distributed architectures. By the end of this book, you will be fixing latency issues and optimizing performance problems, but you will also know how this affects the complexity and maintenance of your application. Finally, we will explore a few highly advanced techniques for further optimization.

Library and framework support


There have been some significant changes to .NET Core and ASP.NET Core between versions 1.0 and 2.0. Sensibly, many popular libraries and frameworks were waiting for .NET Standard 2.0, before adding support.

Obviously, a book is a bad place to keep up with the changes, so the author has put together a GitHub repository to display the latest compatibility information. You can find the ASP.NET Core Library and Framework Support list at http://anclafs.com/.

If you would like to update anything or add a library or framework, then please send a pull request. The repository is located at https://github.com/jpsingleton/ANCLAFS and it includes a lot of useful tools, libraries, frameworks, and more. We mentioned many of these earlier in this book, and the following sample is just a small selection of what is listed, because package support will grow over time:

  • Scientist.NET
  • FeatureToggle
  • MiniProfiler
  • Glimpse
  • Prefix
  • Dapper
  • Simple.Data
  • EF Core
  • Hangfire
  • ImageResizer
  • DynamicImage
  • ImageSharp...
