C# Channels - Why so forgotten? Designing High-Throughput Background Pipelines
Designing high-throughput background pipelines with C# System.Threading.Channels When our project receives thousands of requests per minute, we need to take some cares. Usually, the bottleneck isn’t CPU. Probabily the problem is one (or more) of these: I/O contention, thread starvation, uncontrolled concurrency, excessive allocations… et cetera. One of the most common mistakes in high-throughput (even in medium-throughput) APIs is coupling request processing with expensive secondary operations such as: audit logging; telemetry; webhook dispatching; email sending; analytics; event persistence. So it causes response times increasing, thread pressure growing and throughput collapses. ...
