NHibernate vs. Dapper: Which One Should You Choose for .NET Development?

Apr 29, 2025 By Dereck Mushingairi In Devart
Frameworks evolve, libraries change, and APIs get rewritten. But your ORM decision? That one sticks—it shapes your architecture, guides how your team writes queries, and affects how painful refactors become later on. In.NET, this choice often narrows to Dapper and NHibernate—two trusted tools with fundamentally different approaches. NHibernate offers deep abstraction, rich mappings, and built-in caching, while Dapper gives you raw speed, total SQL control, and zero overhead.

You have to decide: do you prefer to write every query or move faster with something easier to maintain? Can you manage the boilerplate, or would you rather work with leaner syntax? For many.NET developers, the answers point to one of two popular tools—ADO.NET or Dapper. ADO.NET gives you complete control but with boilerplate and manual overhead.

Don't default to microservices: You'll thank us later!

Apr 18, 2025 By Roman Khavronenko In VictoriaMetrics
Don’t default to microservices: You’ll thank us later! Donald Knuth, professor emeritus at Stanford University and “father” of algorithm analysis, once said – now quite famously – that “Premature optimization is the root of all evil.” It’s one of those sayings that all engineers know, most understand, and many struggle to follow through on consistently. What Knuth misses in this pithy, memorable quote is the fact that evil is tempting.

Why Do You Need a Redis Monitor in Place?

Apr 2, 2025 By Prathamesh Sonpatki In Last9
Redis Monitor is a simple yet powerful command-line tool that displays every command processed by a Redis server in real-time. It provides visibility into exactly what’s happening inside a Redis instance as it happens. Running a single command can uncover hidden performance issues: The output reveals thousands of unexpected HGETALL operations on a key that should be accessed infrequently. This exposes a Redis call inside a loop, causing unnecessary database strain.
