    EF Core is a modern object-database mapper for .NET. It supports LINQ queries, change tracking, updates, and schema migrations.

  • Since .net core came out it's possible to run and write .net code in all platforms. In your experience what is the best when it comes to development experience and resources consumption? I recently moved to Linux Mint as my daily driver and felt that .net on Windows just works better, even with Rider. I struggled with an issue "Platform not supported exception" when trying to connect with the database using EF Core and NET 6.0. A lot of issues about this matter were opened on GitHub and closed without a proper resolution and the Microsoft teams seems to not give a shit about that, most workaround came from the user's who took their time to investigate the issue.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
