Memory Leak Issues When Using DbContext in ASP.NET Core 6 with Scoped Services
I'm relatively new to this, so bear with me... I'm building a feature where I'm encountering a memory leak in my ASP.NET Core 6 application when using Entity Framework Core with a scoped DbContext. My application allows users to upload files, and for each upload, I instantiate a new instance of DbContext within a service that is also registered as scoped. However, I noticed that the memory usage keeps increasing with every upload, leading to an OutOfMemoryException after a few hundred uploads. Here's the relevant part of my code: ```csharp public class FileUploadService : IFileUploadService { private readonly MyDbContext _dbContext; public FileUploadService(MyDbContext dbContext) { _dbContext = dbContext; } public async Task UploadFileAsync(IFormFile file) { // Process file and save to database var fileRecord = new FileRecord { FileName = file.FileName }; _dbContext.FileRecords.Add(fileRecord); await _dbContext.SaveChangesAsync(); } } ``` I have tried disposing of the DbContext manually by implementing `IDisposable`, but it seems like that doesn't resolve the issue. Also, I double-checked that there are no other services holding references to the DbContext, yet the memory consumption keeps climbing. Currently, my `DbContext` is configured in the `Startup.cs` file like this: ```csharp services.AddDbContext<MyDbContext>(options => options.UseSqlServer(Configuration.GetConnectionString("DefaultConnection"))); ``` Can anyone suggest what might be causing this memory leak or how I could alter my approach to better manage the DbContext's lifecycle? Any insights would be greatly appreciated! Has anyone else encountered this? Any help would be greatly appreciated! I'm working in a Ubuntu 22.04 environment. Any suggestions would be helpful.
