Entity Framework Core Deep Dive: N+1, IQueryable, and Performance Secrets

Entity Framework Core is the backbone of modern .NET development, but are you using it to its full potential—or is it slowing you down? Using an ORM is easy, but optimizing it requires true engineering skill. In this video, we go beyond the basics to explore the "sharp and subtle" details that separate junior developers from seniors. We'll analyze real-world performance traps and how to fix them before they hit production. In this video, we cover: - IQueryable vs. IEnumerable: Where is your filtering actually happening? Stop wasting RAM. - The N+1 Disaster: Why is your app making thousands of unnecessary database calls? - Loading Strategies: Master .Include(), .AsSplitQuery(), and Explicit Loading. - Performance Tuning: Using .AsNoTracking() to handle complex data at scale. Stop writing “good enough” code and start building high-performance systems. #dotnet #csharp #efcore #entityframework #backend #softwareengineering #programming #backenddevelopment #database #sql #optimization #aspnetcore #codingtips
