Use this in-depth guide to correctly design benchmarks, measure key performance metrics of .NET applications, and analyze results. This book presents dozens of case studies to help you understand complicated benchmarking topics. You will avoid common pitfalls, control the accuracy of your measurements, and improve performance of your software. Author Andrey Akinshin has maintained BenchmarkDotNet (the most popular .NET library for benchmarking) for five years and covers common mistakes that developers usually make in their benchmarks. This book includes not only .NET-specific content but also essential knowledge about performance measurements which can be applied to any language or platform (common benchmarking methodology, statistics, and low-level features of modern hardware). What You'll LearnBe aware of the best practices for writing benchmarks and performance testsAvoid the common benchmarking pitfalls Know the hardware and software factors that affect application performanceAnalyze performance measurements Who This Book Is For .NET developers concerned with the performance of their applications

Understand .NET memory management internal workings, pitfalls, and techniques in order to effectively avoid a wide range of performance and scalability problems in your software. Despite automatic memory management in .NET, there are many advantages to be found in understanding how .NET memory works and how you can best write software that interacts with it efficiently and effectively. Pro .NET Memory Management is your comprehensive guide to writing better software by understanding and working with memory management in .NET. Thoroughly vetted by the .NET Team at Microsoft, this book contains 25 valuable troubleshooting scenarios designed to help diagnose challenging memory problems. Readers will also benefit from a multitude of .NET memory management “rules” to live by that introduce methods for writing memory-aware code and the means for avoiding common, destructive pitfalls. What You'll LearnUnderstand the theoretical underpinnings of automatic memory management Take a deep dive into every aspect of .NET memory management, including detailed coverage of garbage collection (GC) implementation, that would otherwise take years of experience to acquire Get practical advice on how this knowledge can be applied in real-world software development Use practical knowledge of tools related to .NET memory management to diagnose various memory-related issuesExplore various aspects of advanced memory management, including use of Span and Memory types Who This Book Is For .NET developers, solution architects, and performance engineers

Maximizing the performance of your algorithms and applications is extremely important and can give you a competitive advantage, a lower cost of ownership, and happier users. Pro .NET Performance explains the internals of Windows, the CLR, and the physical hardware that affect the performance of your applications, and gives you the knowledge and tools to measure how your code performs in isolation from external factors. The book is full of C# code samples and tips to help you squeeze every bit of juice from your application—lower memory utilization, consistent CPU usage, and fewer I/O operations across the network and disk. Pro .NET Performance will change the way you think about .NET application development. Guides you through performance measurement with a variety of profilers and other tools Explains how OS and CLR internals affect your application’s performance in unexpected ways Provides you with tips and real-life case studies for improving application performance

This book provides in-depth guidance and best practices for .NET developers new to working with Amazon Web Services. AWS is the world’s most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud platform, and this book will help you choose from, and use, its extensive collection of cloud services when developing and hosting your .NET applications in the cloud. Pro .NET on Amazon Web Services focuses on the building and deployment of .NET applications on AWS. It demonstrates best practices and provides prescriptive guidance around moving existing .NET Framework, .NET Core, and .NET 5+ applications to AWS. It also offers directions on building new, distributed, and reliable cloud-native applications. You will learn how to take advantage of the various tools available from AWS to build and deploy .NET-based applications. You will also be shown how to take advantage of different AWS services, including various execution platforms and databases that can help your .NET applications to achieve the reliability and scalability that AWS is known for. What You Will Learn Develop and deploy Microsoft .NET applications on the Amazon Web Services platform Take advantage of the various free tools AWS offers for developing and deploying cloud applications Choose the correct compute service on which to host your application Choose the right database from the many options that AWS offers Make AWS service calls from within .NET applications Secure .NET applications using best practices around AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) Migrate existing .NET applications to the AWS platform and take advantage of the services offered Build modern .NET applications using advanced AWS services Who This Book Is For .NET developers seeking to take advantage of the breadth and depth of functionality in the AWS cloud, as well as developers who, whether new to cloud applications or experienced in the cloud, face challenges in understanding and applying the breadth and depth of services available from AWS when choosing to develop and host their applications.
