Many high-traffic ASP.NET applications in Microsoft Azure are deployed over multiple Microsoft Azure regions in order to handle geographically separated traffic. In these situations, the load balancer always sends traffic to the Microsoft Azure region closest to the user for faster response time. In this scenario, you may run into a situation where you have…
ASP.NET is known for developing high-traffic web applications. Many of these applications are deployed to multiple geographical locations. This multi-site deployment is done either for disaster recovery purposes or for handling regional traffic by having the ASP.NET application closer to the end user. In the case of disaster recovery, there is usually one active site…
ASP.NET today is widely used for high traffic web applications that need to handle millions of users and are deployed in load balanced web farms. One important part of ASP.NET is View State that many applications use. ASP.NET View State is a very powerful mechanism that stores pages, controls and custom values between multiple HTTP…
Distributed caching is becoming really popular among developers of high transaction applications because it improves your application’s performance and scalability. And, this popularity means that developers are caching more and more data in it which they also want to be able to search just like they are able to search relational databases. But, one major…
Distributed Caching has become a popular way of improving .NET application performance and scalability. That is why developers are caching more and more data in distributed cache. However along with this come a few challenges. One important challenge is to ensure that data in the cache is always synchronized with the database. This is because…
If your ASP.NET application only has a few users, you probably don’t care how fast or slow it is and it is probably giving you pretty good performance anyway. But, as you add more load to your ASP.NET application, the chances are quite high that ASP.NET performance will drop significantly. It might even grind to…
A distributed cache is essential for any application that demands fast performance during extreme transaction loads. An in-memory distributed cache performs better than a database. And, it can provide linear scalability in handling greater transaction loads because it can easily let you add more servers to the cache cluster that a database server cannot do.…
ASP.NET has now become a really popular technology for web apps and more people are developing high traffic applications in it. To handle the higher traffic, these ASP.NET apps are deployed in load-balanced web farms where you can add more servers as your traffic load increases. But a problem occurs; the database and your data…
There is absolutely no doubt about it. ASP.NET has come to age and a good majority of ASP.NET applications now are high traffic and mission-critical. That means you cannot afford unscheduled downtime of either the entire website or some of the servers where many users are getting bumped out. This is because these downtimes cost…
