Software Development using .NET Core 6+

Microsoft .NET 6 marked a turning point — the old .NET Framework and .NET Core lines merged into a single, unified platform. Every version since (.NET 7, 8, 9 and beyond) builds on that foundation, delivering faster performance, smaller deployments, and a consistent development experience across web, desktop, cloud, and mobile.

Why .NET Core 6+ matters for your business

  • Performance — each release sets new benchmarks. .NET applications routinely outperform equivalent Java and Node.js stacks in throughput and latency.
  • Cross-platform — the same codebase runs on Windows, Linux, and macOS, and deploys equally well to IIS, Docker containers, or Azure App Service.
  • Long-term support — even-numbered releases (.NET 6, 8) carry three-year LTS guarantees, giving your application a stable, supported foundation.
  • Cloud-native ready — deep integration with Azure: Functions, Durable Functions, Service Bus, and Container Apps all have first-class .NET SDK support.
  • Minimal APIs — lightweight HTTP endpoints without the overhead of full MVC, ideal for microservices and serverless workloads.
  • Single-file and ahead-of-time compilation — publish a self-contained executable with no runtime dependency, cutting container image sizes dramatically.
  • Windows Services — long-running background processes hosted as Windows Services, suitable for scheduled tasks, queue processors, and daemon workloads that run without a web front-end.
  • Azure Durable Functions — stateful, serverless orchestration for workflows that span minutes, hours, or days; supports fan-out/fan-in, chaining, and human-in-the-loop approval patterns on .NET 8 or .NET 10.

We develop on the current release and target whichever LTS version best suits your deployment and support requirements — typically .NET 8 for new projects, with migration paths available from older .NET Framework codebases.
