ASP.NET Core resilience and performance
This issue covers Polly fault-handling, zero-allocation LINQ, EF Core soft deletes, Web API patching, DI, and .NET 10 Preview 4.
Jasen's top three picks
- 1 From Fragile to Bullet-Proof!— Adding Fault-Handling in ASP.NET Core With Polly
medium.com
A solid Polly walkthrough for making ASP.NET Core APIs far less fragile.
- 2 “ZLinq”, a Zero-Allocation LINQ Library for .NET

ZLinq is interesting if allocation pressure is hurting your hot paths.
- 3 .NET 10 Preview 4 is now available!
devblogs.microsoft.com
Preview 4 keeps .NET 10 on a steady march forward.
Editor's note
I pulled a pretty mixed lineup this time: resilience, performance, data access, API design, and a bit of language craft. The Polly piece and the ZLinq article stood out to me because they both tackle real-world pain points from opposite ends of the stack. I also liked the EF Core soft-delete write-up and the .NET 10 Preview 4 update for the practical value they bring.
