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.
This blogpost explains about advantages, disadvantages, internal service communication, SOA vs MSA, Prerequisites, and other aspects of Microservice Architecture that are required to define architectu
Package the API as a container: multi-stage Dockerfile, layer-cache-friendly restore, non-root user, and the two real build failures you will hit — verified with a running container.
Cache the hot read path with IMemoryCache and GetOrCreateAsync, choose expirations, survive stampedes and invalidation, and know when Redis and HybridCache enter.
Issue and validate JSON Web Tokens in ASP.NET Core: token endpoint, bearer validation, role-based authorization, and the mistakes that turn tokens into breaches — with verified 401/403/200 flows.
AutoMapper usage in ASP.NET Core Web API, its 2025 commercial licensing change, and the modern alternatives — hand-written mapping extension methods and the Mapperly source generator.
Structure a growing MVC app with areas: folder conventions, the {area:exists} route, view resolution, cross-area links, and securing an area with a policy.
In the realm of software engineering, one trend is steadily rising to prominence - the low-code and no-code development approach. The two are fundamentally shifting the software development paradigm,
Add a Dapper read path beside EF Core: read models behind a port, parameterized SQL, mapping gotchas we actually hit, and when each tool wins.
Implement the repository pattern over EF Core the useful way: use-case-shaped interfaces, AsNoTracking reads, unit-of-work saves, correct lifetimes, and the anti-patterns to dodge.
