🚀 Optimizing .

Applications for Large
Databases

🔥 1. Use Efficient Querying with EF Core &
Dapper
✅ Avoid ToList() on large datasets – Use .AsQueryable() or pagination
instead.
✅ Prefer Dapper for read-heavy operations as it’s faster than EF Core.
✅ Use Stored Procedures for complex queries to optimize execution plans.

🔥 2. Implement Paging & Lazy Loading
✅ Never fetch all records at once – Use pagination with Skip() & Take().
✅ Avoid Lazy Loading when dealing with large datasets; prefer explicit
loading.

🔥 3. Optimize Indexing & Partitioning
✅ Use proper indexing – Always index columns used in WHERE, JOIN, and
ORDER BY.
✅ Partition large tables based on date, region, or other logical segments.
✅ Regularly update statistics to keep the query optimizer efficient.

🔥 4. Use Caching for Faster Reads
✅ Implement Redis or MemoryCache to store frequently accessed data.
✅ Use EF Core Second-Level Cache for reducing repeated DB queries.

🚀5. Use Background Processing for Heavy
Workloads
✅ Offload long-running tasks using Hangfire, Azure Functions, or
Background Services.
✅ Move batch operations to scheduled jobs instead of real-time
processing.
