  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • Entity Framework

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

  • FromSqlRaw still requires the mapped object to be a registered entity that is part of the model so no arbitrary mapping and as far as I know you can’t use it to retrieve scalar values. But that may change in 7: https://github.com/dotnet/efcore/issues/10753

  • Evolve

    Database migration tool for .NET and .NET Core projects. Inspired by Flyway.

  • I've been using Evolve in the past, very simple and effective.

  • 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.
