How to use native AOT to improve performance of ASP.NET Core apps

September 30, 2023 by Anuraj

dotnet aot

This post is about explains what native AOT is and why it is beneficial for ASP.NET Core apps. Native AOT is a deployment model that uses an ahead-of-time compiler to compile IL to native code at the time of publish. Native AOT apps have faster startup time, smaller memory footprints, and can run on machines that don’t have the .NET runtime installed. Please note all the ASP.NET Core features are not currently compatible with native AOT. For instance, ASP.NET Core application types like minimal APIs, gRPC, and worker services are compatible with native AOT, while features such as MVC, Blazor Server, and SignalR are not supported in AOT compilation.

But again the problem is we have to hard code the API URL in the environment file. In this post we will explore how we can do configure container environment variable in vanilla Javascript. This technique can be used in any Javascript framework or technology.
