Why we build on ADO.NET, not an ORM
ORMs are convenient until they aren't. Here's why we reach for plain ADO.NET and stored procedures on data-critical builds.
The short version
- Pick the tool that fits the problem, not the trend
- Keep data access explicit and easy to reason about
- Lean on stored procedures and parameterized SQL for control and safety
Curious whether plain ADO.NET fits your build, or weighing it against an ORM? We're always up for a good architecture conversation.
