Since 2008, Ben Watson has worked on building and improving the fast, scalable, high-volume, low-latency platform that runs Bing and many of the search and workflow execution portions of other Microsoft products such as Exchange, SharePoint, Cortana, Office, Windows, and more. He is the author of the book Writing High-Performance .NET Code, 2nd Edition. In his spare time, he enjoys music, reading, and spending time with his wife and children outdoors in the beautiful Pacific northwest.
Bing runs one of the world’s largest, most complex, highly performant, and reliable .NET applications. This posts discusses the journey and the work required to upgrade to .NET 5. This migration has been an unqualified success for our team. The overall picture is clear that .NET 5 is phenomenally superior.
