IAsyncEnumerable<T> in C#: Streaming Data Without Loading Everything into Memory
📰 Dev.to · Adrián Bailador
Learn to use IAsyncEnumerable to stream large datasets without loading everything into memory, preventing server crashes
Action Steps
- Use IAsyncEnumerable to stream data from a database
- Configure the database query to yield results asynchronously
- Implement paging or chunking to limit the amount of data streamed at once
- Test the implementation with a large dataset to ensure memory usage is efficient
- Apply this technique to other areas of the application where large datasets are used
