Devs who use EF instead of Dapper: Why?

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/dotnet

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • LINQ to DB

    Linq to database provider.

  • Most application has 70% of simple crud features so EF helps a lot there. Also you can write pretty good queries if you know how linq works. On the other hand I want to try https://github.com/linq2db/linq2db this project for a while given that it also has EF compatibility so maybe I can have the best of both worlds.

  • nopCommerce

    ASP.NET Core eCommerce software. nopCommerce is a free and open-source shopping cart.

  • Linq2Db is simple and fast Linq to database access library. I came to know about Linq2Db via nopCommerce project. Previously their data access layer was written using EF but recently they moved to Linq2Db.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
