As a practical learner, I've found that performance optimizations are my biggest challenge and that I've learned the most helpful tricks from them, mostly by trial and error. It turns out the Azure .NET SDK is a perfect “playground” for learning those tricks – it's maintained by people who care and give feedback.

Over the past few years, I've contributed over fifty pull requests to the Azure .NET SDK. In this session, I'll walk you through the performance improvements I made and help you develop your own “superpowers” – spotting and avoiding closure allocations, finding opportunities for memory pooling, and more.
