Minimal APIs in ASP.NET 7.0 - Rob Richardson - NDC London 2023

There's a 4th coding paradigm joining MVC, WebAPI, and Razor Pages: Minimal APIs. It's a great way to create the lightest weight microservice. But are you trading everything for the small surface? We'll start with a .NET 5 project and build up to a Minimal API looking at a bunch of brand new C# 10 features along the way. Like the other 3, this is not an either/or choice, and when it makes sense, you can be really productive here too.

Excellent presentation. Minimal API is amazing.

Ive seen projects start the with minimal api but end up looking just a controller as he mentions. It sounds great and there's performance gains with minimal, but as you start adding validation, filters, etc., may just wanna go back to controllers.

I'm not sure when this was recorded, but in Rider/R# and latest VS, there is a refactoring "extract to global using", the file name I think Global.Usings.cs - just Alt+Enter the usings away :) Otherwise, awesome talk.

Perfect

Not sure the use of Minimal API is just reserved for small APIs. Sure David Fowler has said somewhere MVC Web API hasn't really changed much since the old framework days, and most of the performance work is going on under the covers for the Minimal API style, so yes your Minimal APIs might end up resembling controllers, but they should be way faster...
