Overview of this book

Software architecture is the practice of implementing structures and systems that streamline the software development process and improve the quality of an app. This fully revised and expanded third edition, featuring the latest features of .NET 6 and C# 10, enables you to acquire the key skills, knowledge, and best practices required to become an effective software architect. Software Architecture with C# 10 and .NET 6, Third Edition features new chapters that describe the importance of the software architect, microservices with ASP.NET Core, and analyzing the architectural aspects of the front-end in the applications, including the new approach of .NET MAUI. It also includes a new chapter focused on providing a short introduction to artificial intelligence and machine learning using ML.NET, and updated chapters on Azure Kubernetes Service, EF Core, and Blazor.

Compiled models

Version 6 of Entity Framework Core introduces the possibility to create precompiled data structures that improves Entity Framework Core performance by about 10 times in the case of models with hundreds of entities (see the reference in the Further reading section for more details). This step is accomplished by generating some code that, once compiled together with the data layer project, creates data structures that our context classes can use to improve performance.

Code is generated with the Optimize-DbContext command provided by the Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Tool NuGet package that we already installed. The command accepts the folder name to place the code and the namespace to place all classes. In our case, let’s choose the Optimization folder and the WWTravelClubDB.Optimization namespace:

Optimize-DbContext -Context MainDBContext -OutputDir Optimization -Namespace WWTravelClubDB.Optimization

Where the –Context parameter must be passed...
