• Blog Modern .NET Backend Roadmap — Part 6: Docker

  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.

• Blog Modern .NET Backend Roadmap — Part 8: CI/CD with GitHub Actions

  Automate build, smoke test, image, and deployment with GitHub Actions: SHA-tagged images, OIDC federation to Azure, environments with approvals, and pipeline hygiene.

• Blog Structured Logging in ASP.NET Core with Serilog and Seq

  Wire Serilog into ASP.NET Core with console, rolling-file, and Seq sinks: request logging, enrichment, levels, and the named-placeholder habit that makes logs queryable.

• Blog ASP.NET Core Application and Kestrel Web Server Settings

  Configure Kestrel in ASP.NET Core — endpoints and URLs, request limits verified with real 413s, HTTPS and reverse proxies, and which settings work in appsettings.json versus code.

• Blog Modern .NET Backend Roadmap — Part 7: Azure Deployment

  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.

• Blog Microservice Architecture Patterns for Architects

  A practical tour of the microservice patterns architects actually use — service boundaries, API gateways, sagas, database-per-service, and observability — plus an honest take on when to stay with a monolith.

• Blog Getting Started with ASP.NET Core Web API and Entity Framework

  Build your first ASP.NET Core Web API on .NET 10 with Entity Framework Core — scaffold models from SQL Server, add an async controller, and test with the built-in OpenAPI document and Scalar.

• Blog Access SQL Server from a .NET Console Application

  Connect to SQL Server from a .NET 10 console app with Microsoft.Data.SqlClient: connections, parameterized commands, data readers, transactions, and where Dapper and EF Core fit.

• Blog WCF in the AI Era: Testing Legacy Services and Migrating to CoreWCF or gRPC

  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.

• Blog Modern .NET Backend Roadmap — Part 10: Observability with OpenTelemetry

  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.

• Blog How to Export SQL Server Data to Excel in C# (Without Office Interop)

  Export SQL Server query results to Excel with ClosedXML — no Office installation, no COM Interop, safe on servers and containers, with styling and a Web API download endpoint.

• Blog Bulk Upload into SQL Server using SqlBulkCopy and C#

  Load 100,000 rows in under a second with SqlBulkCopy: column mappings, batch sizes, transactions, staging tables, and the constraint fine print — measured for real.
