The Strategy pattern is a behavioral design pattern that allows you to define a family of algorithms, encapsulate each one, and make them interchangeable. This pattern is particularly useful in scenarios where you need to switch between different algorithms at runtime. In this blog, we'll explore how to implement the Strategy pattern in .NET 8.0 using Minimal API with dependency injection.

LINQ (Language Integrated Query) is a powerful feature in C# that allows querying data from different sources (like collections, databases, XML, etc.) in a consistent manner. LINQ can be used in two primary ways: deferred execution and immediate execution. Understanding the execution behavior of LINQ queries is crucial for writing efficient and predictable code.

The Saga pattern is a design pattern used to manage and coordinate distributed transactions in microservices architectures. Unlike traditional monolithic transactions that ensure ACID (Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, Durability) properties through a single database transaction, distributed transactions span multiple services, making it difficult to maintain ACID properties. The Saga pattern addresses this by breaking down a transaction into a series of smaller, independent steps (or sub-transactions) that are executed in a predefined sequence.

Entity Framework (EF) is an Object-Relational Mapper (ORM) that enables .NET developers to work with a database using .NET objects. It eliminates the need for most of the data-access code that developers usually need to write. Entity Framework Core (EF Core) is the modern version of Entity Framework and is designed to be lightweight, extensible, and cross-platform.
