Entity Framework Core

Whether you use Object-Relational Mappers (ORMs) like Entity Framework Core (EF Core) or Dapper to work with data and databases in your applications or you use the underlying ADO.NET and SqlConnection directly, it’s easy to run into situations where performance could be improved by changing how you access and query the database. Profiling your application regularly can help find performance issues and bottlenecks. Even small optimizations can reduce database load and help make your application faster. “But who has time to profile regularly? We need to ship – now!” What if you could get m

When working with databases, there are a few tenets to keep in mind to maximize your application's performance. First, reduce the number of network calls. Second, reduce the complexity of your queries. Third, reduce the data retrieved in your result set. If you're an Entity Framework Core 7 user, you can strive to meet these using JSON columns. JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) is a language-independent format widely used across many technologies and ecosystems. However, while JSON support has been available in most database engines for quite some time, the EF Core team only recently releas

Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) like JetBrains Space, YouTrack, and TeamCity Cloud are built around the concept of multi-tenancy. Many other services you are using every day probably are, too! Instead of spinning up a dedicated server for every customer, these services often share server resources while keeping configuration, data and user accounts for that service separate and isolated. Much like time-sharing a vacation rental, all tenants can use the swimming pool, but they have their separate set of towels. In this post, we will explore what multi-tenancy means, why you may consider it when

Do you work with Entity Framework Core? Would you like to manage entities right inside your IDE? Then you're in luck! The Entity Framework Core UI plugin for Rider helps you effectively manage everything you need in EF Core. In just a few clicks you'll have produced the necessary EF Core boilerplate code that's necessary for database operations. In this guest blog post, author Andrew Rublyov demonstrates the powerful features behind the Entity Framework Core UI plugin for Rider. It’s free, too! Let’s get started. To work with Entity Framework Core, it is usually a good idea to use it
