Optimize Your .NET App for Production — Complete Checklist

 I see way too many .NET apps go to prod like it’s still “F5 on my laptop.” Here’s the checklist I wish someone shoved me years ago. It’s opinionated, pragmatic, copy-pasteable.

Before pushing your .NET app to production, make sure it’s tuned for performance, stability, and security. This two-part guide walks you through everything you need — from build and hosting tweaks to runtime, data, monitoring, and security best practices.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Optimize build and publish settings for faster startup and smaller size
  • Tune GC, thread pool, and hosting configurations
  • Improve HTTP and database performance
  • Add telemetry, monitoring, and container best practices
  • Strengthen security and handle graceful shutdowns
