Hire EF Core Experts | Nearshore Software Development
Entity Framework (EF) Core is a modern object-database mapper for .NET. It enables .NET developers to work with a database using .NET objects, eliminating the need for most of the data-access code they usually need to write. You need an expert who can leverage EF Core to build high-performance, data-driven applications. Our vetting process finds .NET developers who are masters of EF Core. We test their ability to design complex data models, write efficient queries with LINQ, and tune performance for demanding applications.
The Problem
A naive use of EF Core can lead to inefficient queries, such as the N+1 problem, which can cripple your application's performance.
The TeamStation AI Solution
We vet for engineers who are experts in EF Core performance tuning. They must demonstrate the ability to use tools like `ToQueryString()` and SQL Server Profiler to diagnose and fix slow queries, and to use features like `AsNoTracking` and compiled queries for maximum performance.
The Problem
Managing database schema changes over time can be a complex and error-prone process, especially in a team environment.
The TeamStation AI Solution
Our engineers are proficient in EF Core Migrations. They are vetted on their ability to use migrations to manage schema changes in a safe, repeatable, and version-controlled way, ensuring your database schema always stays in sync with your application code.
