.NET Backend Development
Build enterprise-grade APIs, microservices, and distributed systems with Microsoft's .NET platform. From high-throughput REST APIs to real-time SignalR hubs, we deliver performant, secure backends that scale to millions of requests.
var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);
builder.Services.AddEndpointsApiExplorer();
builder.Services.AddSwaggerGen();
var app = builder.Build();
app.MapGet("/api/users", async (
IUserService service) =>
{
var users = await service.GetAllAsync();
return Results.Ok(users);
});
app.Run();
Lightweight, High-Performance APIs
.NET Minimal APIs strip away boilerplate to deliver fast, clean endpoints with fewer lines of code. Combined with native AOT compilation, your APIs start in milliseconds and handle thousands of requests per second with minimal memory footprint.
- Minimal boilerplate — define routes inline
- Native AOT for sub-millisecond cold starts
- Built-in OpenAPI / Swagger generation
- Dependency injection out of the box
public class AppDbContext : DbContext
{
public DbSet<Order> Orders => Set<Order>();
protected override void OnModelCreating(
ModelBuilder modelBuilder)
{
modelBuilder.Entity<Order>()
.HasMany(o => o.Items)
.WithOne(i => i.Order)
.HasForeignKey(i => i.OrderId);
}
}
Entity Framework Core ORM
Entity Framework Core provides a powerful, type-safe ORM for working with relational databases. LINQ queries compile to optimized SQL, migrations keep your schema in sync, and interceptors give you full control over the data pipeline.
- LINQ-to-SQL with compile-time safety
- Code-first migrations & schema management
- Support for SQL Server, PostgreSQL, SQLite
- Global query filters & soft delete patterns
.NET vs Alternatives
| Feature | .NET | Node.js | Java | Python |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Language | C# — strongly typed | JavaScript / TypeScript | Java — verbose | Python — dynamic |
| Performance | Top-tier (Kestrel) | Good (V8 engine) | Good (JVM) | Slower (GIL) |
| Enterprise Ecosystem | Azure + Microsoft stack | npm — vast but fragmented | Spring Boot — mature | Django / FastAPI |
| Native AOT | Yes — sub-ms cold starts | Not applicable | GraalVM (complex) | Not applicable |
| Cross-Platform | Windows, Linux, macOS | Full cross-platform | JVM anywhere | Full cross-platform |
| Real-Time (WebSocket) | SignalR — built-in | Socket.io | Spring WebSocket | Django Channels |
