Enterprise systems place extreme demands on data access layers. This session dives deep into advanced Entity Framework Core techniques for building high-throughput, low-latency applications while meeting auditing and compliance requirements with SQL Server temporal tables. Attendees will learn how to use compiled queries, efficient projections, batching, and controlled tracking to reduce overhead at scale. We’ll explore modeling and querying system-versioned tables, retrieving historical data, and minimizing the performance impact of change tracking. Through real-world examples, performance measurements, and architectural guidance, this talk equips experienced developers with immediately actionable patterns for production EF Core workloads.
