Optimize for the Cloud – Lightning-speed .NET Container Apps
summary
Demonstrates concrete steps: enable Profile Guided Optimization (dynamic PGO in .NET 7, default in .NET 8) to get ~10–15% faster hot paths; use ready-to-run / crossgen2 and embedded PGO to cut cold-starts; apply trimming and Native AOT to shrink self-contained images from ~68MB to ~3–13MB and produce single-file binaries with sub-second startup. Shows building a minimal web API and a native shared library callable from C, both working end-to-end in demos.
