.NET AOT Architecture FAQs

Question 1

Why should I use AOT architecture instead of standard .NET patterns?

Accepted Answer

AOT architecture eliminates runtime overhead by resolving dependencies at compile-time, resulting in significantly faster startup times and lower memory usage, which is critical for serverless and containerized scaling.

Question 2

What is the main difference between AOT and standard .NET code?

Accepted Answer

AOT-safe code avoids runtime reflection, dynamic IL generation, and assembly scanning, favoring build-time source generators and explicit registrations that the compiler can analyze statically.

Question 3

Can I use standard JSON serialization with Native AOT?

Accepted Answer

Standard reflection-based JSON serialization is incompatible with AOT. This skill guides you through implementing System.Text.Json source generation contexts for AOT-safe serialization.

Question 4

Which .NET versions are supported by this architectural guidance?

Accepted Answer

The guidance is optimized for .NET 8.0 and newer, leveraging the mature Native AOT support and improved source generation capabilities introduced in these releases.

Question 5

Does this skill help with evaluating third-party libraries?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it includes a library compatibility assessment guide and a matrix of common .NET libraries, indicating which are AOT-compatible and suggesting alternatives for those that are not.
