Success in the startup world often hinges on speed and agility. At SleekFlow , we’ve harnessed the power of .NET Core to fuel our rapid development and deliver innovative solutions to our customers.

First of all, let’s define .NET Core really briefly. 

Imagine you're a builder, and you need a versatile toolbox to construct houses that can stand strong on any type of land. Well, .NET Core is like that toolbox, but for developers! 

.NET Core is an open-source framework that allows developers to build applications that can run on different operating systems including Windows, macOS, or Linux, just like houses that can be built on various terrains.

In today’s newsletter, we’ll explore how .NET Core has been a catalyst in our journey to becoming a hypergrowth startup, enabling us to build, iterate, and scale our products at an accelerated pace.

Accelerating development with .NET Core

One of the key reasons we chose .NET Core was its ability to facilitate rapid development. Our tech founder’s familiarity with the framework, combined with the powerful Entity Framework ORM, has allowed us to accelerate our development cycles, streamline our processes, and quickly bring our ideas to life. This speed has been crucial in helping us stay ahead of the competition and adapt to the ever-changing landscape of the technology industry.

The competitive edge: performance and community growth

In addition to speeding up development, .NET Core’s impressive performance has given us a competitive edge in the market. As a hypergrowth startup, we understand the importance of delivering a responsive and reliable product to our customers. .NET Core’s performance capabilities, coupled with the growing open-source community, have ensured that our products are built on a solid foundation that can handle the demands of our expanding customer base.

Seamless integration with Microsoft Azure

Our strong affinity for Microsoft Azure has also played a significant role in our success. .NET Core’s seamless integration with Azure has allowed us to take full advantage of the platform’s extensive suite of services, enhancing our products’ capabilities and simplifying our deployment process. This seamless connection has helped us stay agile and maintain a strong focus on innovation and customer satisfaction.

Strengthened partnership with Microsoft

By choosing .NET Core, we’ve also been able to strengthen our partnership with Microsoft, providing us with invaluable resources, support, and opportunities to grow and improve our products further. This collaboration has enabled us to stay ahead of the curve and ensure that our products are always built on the latest and greatest technology stack.
