As developers, we are used to the standard .NET execution model: code is compiled into Intermediate Language (IL) and then compiled into machine code at runtime by the Just-In-Time (JIT) compiler. While the JIT is incredibly fast and optimized, modern architectures-especially Serverless and Edge Computing-demand something even more efficient. ...
