Microsoft Teams’ Infrastructure and Azure Communication Services’ Journey to .NET 6

Microsoft Teams’ infrastructure team, or Intelligent Conversation and Communications Cloud (IC3), aspires to be the industry leading platform with reliable and high-quality audio and video calling, meetings, and chat experiences that work any time, from anywhere, on any device. We use our core capabilities to power Microsoft Teams and enable third-party partners to bring intelligent conversations to life in their own product using Azure Communication Services. We learn from each conversation, every call, and meeting to make the next one better. In that spirit, we continually evolve and modernize our engineering platform. A key element of our platform evolution is the migration from .NET Framework to the latest version of .NET LTS, currently .NET 6. Motivation to move to .NET 6 The migration to .NET Core is driven by multiple factors: Cost Reduction: Average of 29% savings on Azure Compute cost. Performance Improvement: 30-50% improvements in performance including P99 CPU utilizat...

The Assignments and Grades features in Teams for Education allow educators to assign tasks, work, or quizzes to their students. Those with school aged children may know this Microsoft Teams feature well already, but you can learn more about it on the Microsoft Education Blog . https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/09/teams-assignments-1.mp4 The Assignments backend service handles a variety of workloads (examples include: serving static content, providing REST APIs over heterogenous data sources, asynchronous worker process, and batch processors handling scheduled tasks). It was built on .NET (predominantly, ASP.NET WebAPI running on .NET 4.7.2). Over the past five years, classrooms around the world have been going through a technological transformation. Most recently, with the switch to remote and hybrid learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Assignments service has seen a roughly 4000% increase in usage. Over the past couple years, we have atte...
