Razor View compilation in ASP.NET Core

Update 26/6/2018: It can happen that what I describe below lead to much longer build times. This is a know issue. More information here: https://www.danielcrabtree.com/blog/444/speed-up-compilation-of-asp-net-core-2-1-projects

One of the ways to increase the speed of your ASP.NET MVC applications was by enabling view compilation. By default Razor views are not pre-compiled leading to longer startup times. Another disadvantage is that errors in views were not detected until you are running in the browser. Enabling view compilation solves this all.

Here is how to enable this in ASP.NET MVC: https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/1169354/Pre-compiled-Razor-View-in-ASP-NET-MVC

The question is, can you do the same thing in ASP.NET Core MVC?

In ASP.NET Core MVC, this behavior is enabled when the Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Razor.ViewCompilation package is referenced. As the Microsoft.AspNetCore.All package pulls in this package, this behavior is enabled by default for all new projects. It can be further controlled by setting the < MvcRazorCompileOnPublish> property.

.NET 8–Keyed/Named Services

A feature that a lot of IoC container libraries support but that was missing in the default DI container provided by Microsoft is the support for Keyed or Named Services. This feature allows you to register the same type multiple times using different names, allowing you to resolve a specific instance based on the circumstances. Although there is some controversy if supporting this feature is a good idea or not, it certainly can be handy. To support this feature a new interface IKeyedServiceProvider got introduced in .NET 8 providing 2 new methods on our ServiceProvider instance: object? GetKeyedService(Type serviceType, object? serviceKey); object GetRequiredKeyedService(Type serviceType, object? serviceKey); To use it, we need to register our service using one of the new extension methods: Resolving the service can be done either through the FromKeyedServices attribute: or by injecting the IKeyedServiceProvider interface and calling the GetRequiredKeyedServic...

Kubernetes–Limit your environmental impact

Reducing the carbon footprint and CO2 emission of our (cloud) workloads, is a responsibility of all of us. If you are running a Kubernetes cluster, have a look at Kube-Green . kube-green is a simple Kubernetes operator that automatically shuts down (some of) your pods when you don't need them. A single pod produces about 11 Kg CO2eq per year( here the calculation). Reason enough to give it a try! Installing kube-green in your cluster The easiest way to install the operator in your cluster is through kubectl. We first need to install a cert-manager: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager/releases/download/v1.14.5/cert-manager.yaml Remark: Wait a minute before you continue as it can take some time before the cert-manager is up & running inside your cluster. Now we can install the kube-green operator: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kube-green/kube-green/releases/latest/download/kube-green.yaml Now in the namespace where we want t...
