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.

Summary

This chapter was focused on memory management. We learned some best practices and the actual underlying process of how memory management is done in .NET. We explored the debugging tool, which can be used by developers to investigate an object's memory allocation on the heap. We also learned about memory fragmentation, finalizers, and how to implement a dispose pattern to clean up resources by implementing the IDisposable interface.

In the next chapter, we will be creating an application following a microservices architecture. A microservice architecture is a highly performant and scalable architecture that helps the application to scale out easily. The following chapter provides you with a complete understanding of how an application can be developed following the best practices and principles.
