AutoMapper goes commercial, sparking .NET migration and fresh benchmarks

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

AutoMapper and MediatR now require paid licenses for companies over $5M revenue, while a high-severity DoS CVE (CVSS 7.5) remains unpatched in free versions. A developer built an automated benchmark suite that runs hourly on .NET 10 to help teams choose alternatives. The benchmarks cover four mapping scenarios and update library versions automatically.

Meridian48 take
The benchmarks are timely and well-executed, but the real story is how a single licensing change and unpatched CVE can force mass migration in the .NET ecosystem.
