Overview of this book

ASP.NET Core is the new, open source, and cross-platform, web-application framework from Microsoft. It's a stripped down version of ASP.NET that's lightweight and fast. This book will show you how to make your web apps deliver high performance when using it. We'll address many performance improvement techniques from both a general web standpoint and from a C#, ASP.NET Core, and .NET Core perspective. This includes delving into the latest frameworks and demonstrating software design patterns that improve performance. We will highlight common performance pitfalls, which can often occur unnoticed on developer workstations, along with strategies to detect and resolve these issues early. By understanding and addressing challenges upfront, you can avoid nasty surprises when it comes to deployment time. We will introduce performance improvements along with the trade-offs that they entail. We will strike a balance between premature optimization and inefficient code by taking a scientific- and evidence-based approach. We'll remain pragmatic by focusing on the big problems. By reading this book, you'll learn what problems can occur when web applications are deployed at scale and know how to avoid or mitigate these issues. You'll gain experience of how to write high-performance applications without having to learn about issues the hard way. You'll see what's new in ASP.NET Core, why it's been rebuilt from the ground up, and what this means for performance. You will understand how you can now develop on and deploy to Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux using cross-platform tools, such as Visual Studio Code.

2. Measuring Performance Bottlenecks

Chapter 1.  Why Performance Is a Feature

This is an exciting time to be a C# developer. Microsoft is in the middle of one of the biggest changes in its history, and it is embracing open source software. The ASP.NET and .NET frameworks are being rebuilt from the ground up to be componentized, cross-platform, and open source.

ASP.NET Core 1.0 and .NET Core 1.0 (previously called ASP.NET 5 and .NET Core 5) embrace many ideas from popular open source projects, such as Go's ability to produce a statically-linked, standalone binary. You can now compile a single native executable that is free of any external dependencies and run it on a system without .NET installed.

The ASP.NET Model View Controller (MVC) web application framework, which is now part of ASP.NET Core 1.0, borrows heavily from Ruby on Rails and Microsoft is keen in promoting tools, such as Node.js, Grunt, gulp, and Yeoman. There is also TypeScript, which is a statically-typed version of JavaScript that was developed at Microsoft.

By reading this book, you will learn how to write high-performance software using these new .NET Core technologies. You'll be able to make your web applications responsive to input and scalable to demand.

We'll focus on the latest Core versions of .NET. Yet, many of these techniques also apply to previous versions, and they will be useful for web application development in general (in any language or framework).

Understanding how all of these new frameworks and libraries fit together can be a bit confusing. We'll present the various available options while still using the newest technology, guiding you down the path to high-speed success, and avoiding performance pitfalls.

After finishing this book, you will understand what problems can occur when web applications are deployed at scale (to distributed infrastructure) and know how to avoid or mitigate these issues. You will gain the experience of how to write high-performance applications without learning about issues the hard way.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics.

  • Performance as a feature
  • The common classes of performance issues
  • Basic hardware knowledge
  • Microsoft tools and alternatives
  • New .NET naming and compatibility
