Since the introduction of Minimal APIs in .NET 6, there have been discussions in the .NET community about whether to adopt Minimal APIs or stay with the classic controller-based web API. But which one is actually the best for your day-to-day development?

In this session, we'll compare both approaches across key areas such as routing, dependency injection, model binding, and performance. You'll learn when to use the lightweight Minimal APIs, and when to opt for the structure and scalability of a controller-based API.

Through demos, we'll build the same API using both approaches, demonstrating the differences between the two options. Whether you're building small cloud-based services or complex, large enterprise applications, this session will help you choose the right tool for the job.
