Why async and await Matter in ASP.NET Core
A common mistake I see is writing synchronous code for database and API operations.
Instead of blocking the request while waiting for a response, ASP.NET Core allows you to use async and await so your application can handle other requests efficiently.
Benefits:
โ
Better application performance
โ
Improved scalability
โ
More responsive APIs
โ
Better user experience under heavy traffic
For example, instead of:
var products = _context.Products.ToList();
Use:
var products = await _context.Products.ToListAsync();
It's a small change that can make a big difference in real-world applications.
