Runtime, logging, AI, and Aspire
Issue 152 mixes scaling guidance, dependency resolution, logging choices, .NET 9 runtime notes, Aspire, MAUI, Copilot, and AI templates.
Jasen's top three picks
- 1 Scaling .NET Apps: Horizontal vs. Vertical — Which Should You Choose?
medium.com
A solid comparison of horizontal and vertical scaling for teams deciding how to grow an app without overengineering it.
- 2 Breaking Free from Dependency Hell: The Story Behind AutoAssemblyResolver
benjamin-buchfink.medium.com
A practical look at solving dependency loading headaches when assemblies refuse to cooperate at runtime.
- 3 Build Gen AI applications with LangChain and SQL | Data Exposed
youtube.com
A useful GenAI demo combining LangChain and SQL, especially for developers exploring app data integration patterns.
Editor's note
I pulled together a broad, very typical .NET mix this time: architecture, tooling, AI, runtime, and everyday app work. The AutoAssemblyResolver piece stands out for tackling dependency pain head-on, and the new .NET AI Template preview is a practical sign of where Microsoft is steering the stack. I also like the logging and Aspire posts because they’re immediately useful in real projects.
