Cancellation Token in .NET | Exploring C# and DOTNET

Hey 👋 Imagine having a long-running request triggered by a user on your server. But, the user is no longer interested in the result and has navigated away from the page.

However, the server is still processing that request and utilizing resources until you come along and implement Cancellation Tokens in the application code.

.NET uses Cancellation Token for cooperative cancellation of asynchronous or long-running synchronous operations.

So let’s learn more about Cancellation Token and save some of that server compute time.

I will show you the problem of unnecessarily spending server resources on no longer required processes and how to solve them using Cancellation Tokens.

We will see an example of using Cancellation tokens in a console application, in a long-running HTTP API Endpoint, and when making external calls to API Endpoints. I will use Amazon S3 to show how you can use Cancellation Tokens to cancel from uploading large documents when they are no longer required.
