How do the costs of running the .NET 7 codebase compare with running something open? I like .NET a lot, have worked with it a lot in the past. But when I tried my own startup, I picked node instead and don't really regret it. I'm getting back into .NET these days though at a new job again, and .NET 7 will be interesting to dive into. Still not sure I'd want to be that tightly-coupled to Microsoft subscriptions though. I'd tried getting a couple .NET projects off the ground back in the .NET 5 days or whenever .NET Core first became a thing. It was surprisingly expensive to run things in Azure, and to use tools too. So that played a role in me just picking node for my startup even though I'd have preferred to stick with C# and .NET if I could, so I could become an expert in those tools.
But yeah, it's definitely a huge plus to have access to .NET's massive standard library. The documentation is amazing, too. If the costs to run in Azure and to be tightly-coupled with Microsoft rthat way are reasonable for a lean/small startup or self-funded startup, then I may give it a shot again.
- hoffs 4y agoIt's just like any other containerized Linux app. The only thing worth noting, that base asp net core api will idle like 200mb memory.
- atraac 4y ago.NET IS open and not really tied to any Microsoft Subscription. I really hate when people keep parroting that without understanding. Rider is nowadays a better IDE for C# and it's not owned by Microsoft. You can host it wherever because it runs wherever.
- pjmlp 4y agoNah, Rider only better on cross platform Web development, and even then it fails short for Blazor.
- fuy 4y agoIn my experience, Rider is much a better IDE for development, especially on large codebases. In our few million LOC codebase, VS lags/hangs a lot, navigation is slow, search (like searching for a log string in a codebase) is awfully slow. Refactorings are not useful w/out Resharper etc. VS has a lot of useful stuff around profiling, performance analysis etc, but as a code editor it's pretty bad.
- WorldMaker 4y agoVS lags/hangs a lot with Resharper installed. As someone who doesn't like/trust Resharper, I have a very different experience of VS performance. (Also, Roslyn built-in refactorings have gotten so good, I increasingly feel like I should just develop more in VS Code because the language server is the same.)

- paddim8 4y agoWhat do you mean open? It is open
