people who use Linux for using C# at your job, what is your role, and does Linux suit your needs?

• ASP.NET Core

  1,632 34,267 9.9 C#

  ASP.NET Core is a cross-platform .NET framework for building modern cloud-based web applications on Windows, Mac, or Linux.

  

I'm a Tech Lead at a large tech/retail company. We're moving all our asp.net services over from windows to linux, as the speed to start a new linux box is MUCH faster than Windows in the cloud (which means you can respond faster to sudden traffic surges, or recover from failure), and the cost of hosting is much lower.

• Npgsql

  15 3,153 9.4 C#

  Npgsql is the .NET data provider for PostgreSQL.

  

But our production server was Linux. Windows Server and Linux servers are both very capable, but Linux does the same job without any license fee. We also used Postgres for our database (again free) and it turned out that the EF Core provider of Postgres has more capabilities than the SQL Server one!
