Long-running tasks in a monolith ASP.NET core application

Often we come across scenarios where invoking a Web API endpoint triggers long-running tasks. In this article, we’re going to explore the different ways we can implement such a long-running task in an ASP.NET Core Web API.

A practical guide to .NET memory management system

There was a time when memory was a slow, rare and expensive resource, so it was necessary to write code as performant as it could get, making them a lot harder to read and maintain. This scenario becomes very evident when we see that Apollo 11 main computer had only 4kb RAM.
