Honest, itemized numbers for a small production ASP.NET Core app on Azure, the cost traps that bite beginners, and when a plain $12 VPS is simply the better call.

The modern Azure.ResourceManager SDK end to end: resource group, network, and a Linux VM with SSH keys from C#, plus scheduled start/stop to keep the bill sane.
The isolated worker model, honest cold-start numbers, and a practical decision table for Functions vs IHostedService vs container jobs.
BlobServiceClient with DefaultAzureCredential, access tiers and lifecycle rules, and user-delegation SAS links that expire in minutes instead of account keys that never do.
System vs user-assigned identities, RBAC role grants, and the DefaultAzureCredential chain that makes the same C# work on your laptop and in production.
Provision serverless Azure SQL with auto-pause, wire up EF Core with retry-on-failure, survive the firewall rules, and go password-less with Entra authentication.
az webapp up, GitHub Actions, Key Vault configuration references, deployment slots for zero-downtime swaps, and the gotchas that break first deployments.
The Azure mental model for C# developers: tenant vs subscription vs resource group, what app registrations really are, and how DefaultAzureCredential kills hardcoded secrets.
Coming from C#? Learn Python by building a small REST API with FastAPI — virtual environments demystified, Pydantic as your model binding, and a side-by-side C# to Python cheat sheet.
A pragmatic WCF migration path: pin behavior with generated-client tests, lift unchanged contracts onto .NET 10 with CoreWCF (verified end to end), then move consumers to gRPC on your schedule.
Find, launch, and use WCF Test Client: add a service by WSDL, invoke operations with complex parameters, read the SOAP XML, fix the classic quota errors, and know its limits.
Close the roadmap with OpenTelemetry: traces, metrics, and logs from a running API, custom spans and counters for business operations, cardinality rules, and sampling strategy.
The five filter stages, the built-in attributes you get for free, and custom action, exception, and result filters with dependency injection — verified outputs included.
While microservices architecture provides significant advantages in scalability, flexibility, and maintainability, it also introduces unique challenges that must be carefully considered when designing
What microservices buy, what they cost, how to find real boundaries — and why a modular monolith with schema-per-module ownership is the strongest launchpad either way.
Explore the differences between AI Agents and Traditional Software, their use cases, key benefits, and why they are shaping the future of intelligent applications.
Artificial Intelligence is no longer reserved for data scientists. Why every software engineer should build AI skills in 2026 — what to learn, in what order, and how it changes day-to-day engineering work.
Implement the Repository Pattern with ASP.NET Core Web API on .NET 10 — EF Core 10, DTO mapping with extension methods, async CRUD operations, and the built-in OpenAPI support with Scalar.
Automate build, smoke test, image, and deployment with GitHub Actions: SHA-tagged images, OIDC federation to Azure, environments with approvals, and pipeline hygiene.
Ship the container to Azure: choosing between App Service, Container Apps and AKS, pushing to a registry, secrets and managed identity, and capturing it all as Bicep.
