Tackling a common yet critical challenge faced by developers working with Entity Framework Core (including EF Core 9.0) when handling large datasets asynchronously.

Despite the scalability promises of async programming, many developers encounter performance issues, timeouts, or incomplete data reads when utilizing methods like ToListAsync and FirstOrDefaultAsync. Saeed will delve into the intricacies of the underlying SqlClient library and its internal workings to shed light on how it manages asynchronous operations and the reasons behind its struggles with large data reads.
Attendees can expect to gain valuable insights into EF Core's async behavior, discover potential workarounds, and learn strategies to optimize performance when dealing with large datasets.

This talk is essential for anyone looking to enhance their understanding of EF Core and improve their application's efficiency.
