Welcome to the SingletonVsStaticBenchmark repository! 🚀 This project explores the performance and use cases of Singleton and Static classes through comprehensive benchmarking.
Singletons and static classes are widely used patterns for managing shared resources. While they often seem interchangeable, their performance and functionality differ significantly depending on the context. This repository provides:
- Detailed performance benchmarks using BenchmarkDotNet
- Analysis of thread safety, memory usage, and initialization costs
- Scenarios involving:
- Static access
- Lightweight Singleton initialization
- Heavy Singleton initialization
- Multi-threaded Singleton access
- .NET 8.0 SDK or later
- Visual Studio or any C# IDE
-
Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/your-repo-link-here
-
Navigate to the project directory:
cd SingletonVsStaticBenchmark -
Restore dependencies:
dotnet restore
-
Run the benchmarks:
dotnet run -c Release
- Static: Perfect for utilities, constants, and lightweight operations that don’t require instance management.
- Singleton: Best suited for shared resources that need controlled initialization, lazy loading, or thread safety.
