Supercharge Your EF Core Performance with BulkInsertAsync

🚀 Supercharge Your EF Core Performance with BulkInsertAsync! 🚀

Struggling with large data insertions in your .NET applications? EF Core’s BulkInsertAsync can be a game-changer. Just install EFCore.BulkExtensions from nuget. Here’s a quick guide to help you get started:

Why Use BulkInsertAsync?

1. Efficiency: Inserts multiple records in a single database round trip. 2. Performance: Significantly reduces the time taken for bulk operations. 3. Simplicity: Easy to implement with minimal code changes. Example Let’s say we have a Student entity and we want to insert a large list of students into the database.

using EFCore.BulkExtensions;
using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

public class Student
{
    public int StudentId { get; set; }
    public string FirstName { get; set; }
    public string LastName { get; set; }
    public string Branch { get; set; }
}

public class ApplicationDbContext : DbContext
{
    public DbSet<Student> Students { get; set; }
}

public async Task BulkInsertStudentsAsync(List<Student> students)
{
    using var context = new ApplicationDbContext();
    await context.BulkInsertAsync(students);
}

EF Core SaveChangesAsync:

• 1,000 records: 18 ms
• 10,000 records: 203 ms
• 100,000 records: 2,129 ms

EF Core BulkInsertAsync:

• 1,000 records: 8 ms
• 10,000 records: 76 ms
• 100,000 records: 742 ms1

With BulkInsertAsync, you can handle large data operations efficiently and keep your application running smoothly. Give it a try and see the difference!
