In today’s high-demand, cloud-driven world, code performance is no longer a “nice to have”—it’s mission critical. When your back-end systems are processing tens of thousands of requests per second, often across microservices, even the smallest inefficiencies can translate into higher costs, reduced scalability, and unhappy users.

This session dives deep into the real-world dos and don’ts of high-performance .NET development. You’ll discover proven techniques that can improve execution speed by up to 98% while significantly reducing memory allocations. Every concept is demonstrated live using modern .NET, showing you exactly how small code changes can produce massive performance gains.

But this isn’t just theory or micro-benchmarks. You’ll see:
• How to identify common performance killers in everyday business code
• Which .NET patterns and APIs consistently outperform traditional approaches
• How to reduce memory pressure and improve throughput in high-load systems
• How to think like a performance engineer when designing and reviewing code

What makes this session truly unique is the direct connection to real, production-tested performance data. You’ll gain exclusive insights from the latest benchmarks and research published in the newly released fifth edition of Rock Your Code: Code & App Performance for Microsoft .NET: https://bit.ly/CodePerf5

As a bonus, this talk draws from my ongoing series, “Improving Code Quality… One Developer at a Time,” blending performance engineering with clean, maintainable, and scalable design principles.

You’ll walk away with practical, immediately actionable techniques that will make your applications faster, leaner, and more cost-efficient in the cloud. Whether you’re a senior architect pushing system limits or a developer looking to level up your skills, this session will change how you write, evaluate, and optimize .NET code.

High-performance code is essential when your applications handle heavy traffic and run in the cloud. Even small inefficiencies can impact scalability, reliability, and cost.

In this session, you’ll learn the key dos and don’ts of optimizing .NET applications, with live demonstrations showing how code changes can improve performance by up to 98% while reducing memory usage. You’ll see real-world examples and practical techniques you can apply immediately.

The session also includes insights from the fifth edition of Rock Your Code: Code & App Performance for Microsoft .NET and draws from the series “Improving Code Quality… One Developer at a Time.” Walk away with the skills to make your .NET applications faster, leaner, and more efficient.
