API breaking changes happen when you expose implementation details. Learn how treating your API as a contract lets your internals evolve independently.

Hosting an endpoint with the Microsoft Generic Host.

Why check-then-act idempotency fails under concurrency, and how to fix it with unique constraints, atomic upserts, and optimistic concurrency.

If it walks like a duck and it quacks like a duck - it is a duck. So duck it and make that work in C# thanks to interceptors!

Connect endpoints in a system that use different transports with the messaging bridge.

Take a tour through hundreds of performance improvements in .NET 11.

Anyone with a cable or DSL modem knows how temperamental network connections can be. The Internet just stops working, and the only way to get it going again is to unplug it for 15 seconds. (Or, put…

Interoperability is painful. Around 2005 or 2006, it wasn’t so bad. Most of the code running on the planet, at least the code that mattered, was written in .NET or Java, and interoperability via web…

There are a myriad of security-obsessed organizations scattered throughout the world that take security concerns to the verge of paranoia. In one such organization I’ve heard of, there existed two…

Property-based testing is a powerful alternative to example-based testing. Instead of defining specific inputs and verifying their outcomes, you define properties that should always hold true. Let’s learn how to use FsCheck to write property-based tests in C# with NUnit.

When a distributed application feels slow, the user sees one delay. The code behind that delay may run across a web frontend, backend services, databases,

Treat domain events like a public API. Learn why exposing internal events creates coupling and how integration events give your system room to evolve.

Interoperability is painful. Around 2005 or 2006, it wasn’t so bad. Most of the code running on the planet, at least the code that mattered, was written in .NET or Java, and interoperability via web…

Use the Idempotent Consumer pattern to safely process duplicate messages from at-least-once deliveries so that repeated processing has the same effects as processing once.

Treat domain events like a public API. Learn why exposing internal events creates coupling and how integration events give your system room to evolve.

Everyone who is old enough to remember the sound of connecting to the Internet with a dial-up modem or of AOL announcing that “You’ve got mail” is acutely aware that there is an upper limit to how…
