.NET Data Community Standup - The Plan for Entity Framework Core 8

The plan has been published for EF Core 8 and other data access work in .NET 8. This includes work in five major themes:

- Highly requested features
- Cloud native and devices
- Performance
- Visual tooling
- Developer experience

Join the .NET Data Team for a discussion of what’s in and what’s out, and to get your questions answered.

If AOT is limited to chained queries, then I would think that it would only be useful to very small apps. And if that's the case, is all this work worth it?

Do note that cosmosdb is really a multi modal platform. Recently Postgresql was added to its family. Documents, graphs, relational tables.

I am perplexed why value types are “complicated”. Hibernate had excellent support for this 15 years ago.

[CarlintVeld]

You say you will look at classes and structs as value types. But what about records?

[Neme]

It would have been more appropriate to make Name either a record or a struct rather than a class. A class instance has its own identity and classes don't behave like value objects, whereas records and structs do, and two record or struct instances are the same if they have the same property values.

So everyone at Microsoft uses Rider these days, VS isn't just good enough for Ms folks? 😁 Also please show more love to DB first projects, Dapper is superior to EF when working with Db first.
