Editor's note
I pulled together a very mixed issue this time: front-end integration, language features, caching, data access, and cloud tooling all made the cut. The .NET 10 Preview 1 and HybridCache items stand out for teams planning near-term upgrades, while the xUnit fixtures piece is a solid practical refresher.
