Explain the impact of DI on Garbage Collection (GC) in high-throughput applications.
Updated Apr 28, 2026
Short answer
Heavy reliance on Transient dependencies creates massive amounts of short-lived objects, putting immense pressure on the Garbage Collector (Gen 0).
Deep explanation
Every time a Transient object is requested, memory is allocated. In a 10,000 RPS system, injecting 20 Transient objects per request means 200,000 allocations per second. To optimize, services that hold no state should be registered as Singletons, reducing allocation to zero after startup.
