An In-Depth Look At Minimal APIs in ASP.NET Core
Explore the power of minimal APIs in ASP.NET Core for building lightweight, high-performance web services.
Abstract
Minimal APIs in ASP.NET Core represent a paradigm shift in how we build web services with .NET. This session provides an in-depth exploration of minimal APIs, from basic concepts to advanced patterns.
We'll cover route handlers, dependency injection, validation, authentication, and how minimal APIs compare to traditional controller-based approaches. Through live coding examples, you'll see how to build production-ready APIs with less ceremony and better performance.
