Techorama (BE) 2025

19 May 2025 1 mins Presentations & Speaking

Next week Techorama in Antwerp is going to happen. And I’m looking forward to all-star sports edition. I was lucky and 2 of my sessions were selected.

First one is Optimize your EF Core update actions.

Everybody optimizes queries. Boring. But there’s a big chunk of applications where updates (inserts, deletes) are as common as queries and need to perform well. This session will show you what you can (and shouldn’t) do to make it happen.

And other one is SynchronizationContext and ConfigureAwait – more than you need to know.

ConfigureAwait(false) is a little dark magic in .NET. Together with SynchronizationContext it’s often misunderstood and incorrectly used. In this session we’ll build strong understanding what’s really going on and we’ll then apply it to every day async/await work.

Hope to meet you there.
