🔗 Tips for efficient data queries in ASP.NET Core

Efficient queries are essential to the performance and scalability of APIs that handle large volumes of data. In this post, we will explore best practices and strategies for optimizing backend queries using ASP.NET Core.

In backend applications that consume relational databases, the way queries are structured can be crucial to application performance. Inefficient queries, excessive data loading and the lack of appropriate filters are some of the pitfalls that can compromise performance, especially in APIs exposed to high access volumes.

In this post, we will cover techniques for implementing efficient queries, such as designing only the necessary properties, eliminating looping queries, using cursor-based paging, dynamic filters and others.
