Benchmarking .NET Applications
What you'll learn
- The fundamentals of Benchmarking
- Why performance matters and why benchmarking is necessary
- When and what you should benchmark
- What is the intermediate language
- How Garbage Collector works
- How you should benchmark applications
- What are a cold start and warm-up process
- Which tools can help you benchmark applications
- Differences between Microbenchmarking and Macrobenchmarking
- Benchmarking REST APIs
Requirements
- A computer on which you can install any software: Windows, macOS, Linux, Git, Visual Code, or Visual Studio.
- You should understand how to code in the C# programming language.
- Familiar with running command-line commands in Terminal, Command Prompt, or similar.
Description
Have you tried to learn Benchmarking before?
Perhaps you find yourself trying to follow a tutorial and get stuck.
In other cases, the different authors may present to you the benchmarking process with subtle command and code variations, but you have no clue what they are for.
You may stumble on articles that are difficult to follow. They do not provide you structured information of what is going on under the hood or a deep understanding of the .NET framework.
Now imagine the oddest edge case: you already finished building your benchmarking, you can run it fine but then when it comes to run it another time, the results differ altogether from the ones you got earlier. You have no idea of the factors that make your benchmark process generate so many values out of your expectations.
You might be working on a critical section of code in your .NET application or microservice, and you need to measure different code approaches to figure which ones make your code run as fast as possible.
Does that sound familiar to you?
Well, you are on the right track!
I built this course to show you how you can build and run benchmarks with a better understanding of the fundamentals.
You will have hands-on labs here where you can download the projects to get started testing yourself the benchmarking process using your favorite code editor.
I've mapped out everything you need to know about Benchmarking .NET applications in an interactive easy-to-follow package. This course is designed to get you up and running, in a couple of days.
Here you will understand the fundamentals, perform the experiments to make correct conclusions based on the raw data provided in benchmarking results.
If you want to be aware of benchmarking good practices, this training is a great way to get started.
Several big companies, including Microsoft, Elasticsearch, Google, are constantly using benchmarking to guarantee applications have no performance degradation and measurements are reproducible.
This constant concern on performance quality makes applications more reliable through the eyes of the customer, making company solutions look more professional.
Who this course is for:
- Beginner, intermediate, and advanced C# programmers who want to learn how to create and execute benchmarks.
- Software Developers who are about to take a job interview and need to prepare for benchmarking-related questions.
- Professionals who need to measure up different code approaches in a .NET application to evaluate performance-related choices.
