Technical requirements

In this chapter, we’re going to need all of the technical requirements that were listed in the previous chapters, plus the following external libraries:

• Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore NuGet package
• Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Tools NuGet package
• Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer NuGet package
• SQL Server 2022 (if we opt for the local SQL instance route)
• Azure subscription (if we opt for the cloud database hosting route)

As always, it’s advisable to avoid installing these straight away. We’re going to bring them in during this chapter so that we can contextualize their purpose within our project.
