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.

Deploying microservices on Docker containers

Microservices are best suited for containerization deployment. A container is a process that provides an isolated and controlled environment for an application to run without affecting the system or vice versa. Most of us have experienced hosting applications inside VMs, which provide an isolated space to install, configure, and run applications and use the dedicated resources without affecting the underlying system or application. In contrast to VMs, containers provide the same level of isolation but are more lightweight in terms of startup time and overhead. Unlike VMs, containers do not preallocate resources such as memory, disk, and CPU usage. We can run multiple containers on the same machine, where the containers are isolated from each other but share the memory, disk, and CPU usage. This enables any application running in a container...
