A tour of different data access approaches in .NET 7+.

Note: This is meant to demonstrate different ways to make data access calls, not best practices (or even reasonably good practices) for building ASP.NET Core Web APIs.

• ADO.NET Custom SQL
• ADO.NET Stored Procs
• Dapper Custom SQL
• Dapper Stored Procs
• EF Core + Custom Queries

• Repository layer
• Application layer

EF and its Migrations are not required for all of these variants, but it does provide a quick and easy way to get your data in place if you want to run these samples. Just run this command from the WebDataDemo folder:

Run this command to get ef core tools:

dotnet tool install --global dotnet-ef

dotnet ef database update

Run this command:

docker run --name seqlogger -d -p 5341:5341 -p 5342:80 -e ACCEPT_EULA=Y datalust/seq

Verify Seq is running: http://localhost:5342

Install k6:

choco install k6

Run scripts from the k6 folder.

k6 run data-strategy-01.js
