In modern .NET applications, data access is one of the most critical aspects because it’s the foundation of how your application communicates with a database. Every application needs to interact with its data store for operations like creating new records, retrieving existing ones, updating data, and deleting unnecessary entries. Now, there are different strategies to handle data access efficiently, and two of the most popular tools in the .NET ecosystem are Entity Framework Core (EF Core) and Dapper.
This tutorial title reflects the combination of both tools, EF Core and Dapper, to achieve optimized, high-performance data access in .NET. Rather than choosing one over the other, we use them together, leveraging the best of both.
