The Fastest Possible HTTP Queries with Marten

This article explores how to optimize HTTP queries in a .NET application using Marten and Wolverine. It demonstrates transitioning from a standard LINQ query that returns a list to a more efficient approach that streams JSON directly from PostgreSQL's JSONB storage to the HTTP response, reducing runtime overhead. The post also introduces Marten's compiled query feature to pre-compile SQL and query plans for reuse, eliminating runtime LINQ interpretation and minimizing C# allocations. Targeted at developers working with Marten, Wolverine, and high-performance web APIs.
