Introduction In modern web applications, performance is a key factor for both user satisfaction and system efficiency. One highly effective technique to enhance performance is response caching. With response caching, browsers or other clients store a copy of a server’s response locally. When the same resource is requested again, the cached version is served instantly. This […]
Introduction With the rise of home office culture (perhaps the only silver lining from the COVID era), I now spend several days a week working from the comfort of my home. Being a developer working in an Agile environment, my day is filled with ceremonies sprint planning, reviews, retrospectives, daily stand-ups and countless hours of […]
Introduction As I look back at 2024, I’m proud to say I kept my promise: one blog post and one YouTube video every week. Finding 1-2 hours with a busy family life wasn’t easy it meant early mornings before the kids woke up or late nights after they went to bed. But I did it! […]
Introduction In my previous articles, we’ve covered quite a journey through JWT authentication in ASP.NET Core Minimal API. Part 1 introduced the basics using the dotnet user-jwts tool, providing a foundation for securing APIs during development. Part 2 took us deeper into manual token generation and validation, showing how to implement production-ready JWT authentication with full control over the process. However, […]

Introduction In a previous article, I wrote about How to Implement JWT Authentication in ASP.NET Core Minimal API, where I introduced the basic concept of JWT (JSON Web Tokens) and demonstrated how to implement authentication using the dotnet user-jwts tool. This approach provided a straightforward way to secure APIs during development by automatically handling token generation and validation. […]
In today’s world of modern web applications, secure authentication is not just a feature – it’s a necessity. Token-based authentication, particularly using JWT (JSON Web Tokens), has become the go-to solution for securing APIs. Before we dive into the implementation, let’s understand why this matters. What Is Token-Based Authentication? Token-based authentication is a security mechanism […]
Introduction In my previous article, “How to Turn On Features in .NET and C# Without Redeploying: Exploring Feature Flags and A/B Testing”, I introduced the concept of feature flags and explained their value in modern software development. We explored how they enable dynamic feature control, safer rollouts, and experimentation like A/B testing, all while minimizing […]
Introduction Deploying new features in an application can be risky. A small mistake could lead to bugs, disrupt users, or even cause downtime. In today’s fast-paced development environment, developers need a way to enable or disable features without redeploying the entire application. This is where feature flags come in. Feature flags give developers control over […]
