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 […]
Introduction to Logging and Why It Matters in .NET Applications In modern software development, logging plays an essential role in monitoring, debugging, and maintaining applications. Logging is the process of recording events or messages from an application’s execution, which can provide critical insights for developers and administrators alike. Whether you’re building a small utility or […]
What exactly is Testcontainers? Testcontainers is an open-source library designed to make integration testing more manageable and reliable by using Docker containers to spin up “throwaway” instances of various services. It allows developers to create lightweight, temporary versions of databases, message brokers, web browsers, and more, using real infrastructure instead of mocks or in-memory simulators. […]
