Serilog logging, EF Core pitfalls, passkeys
Curated .NET articles on Serilog logging, EF Core lazy-loading, Azure Communications Services, MediatR CQRS, and .NET 10 passkeys.
Jasen's top three picks
- 1 How to Do Logging in .NET Core Web API with Serilog
medium.com
A solid Serilog walkthrough if you need to tighten up API logging without overcomplicating your pipeline.
- 2 Oops, We Just Charged Everyone Twice!
medium.com
A painful reminder that lazy-loading can turn “fast” EF Core code into a hidden performance problem.
- 3 Why Choose .NET for Full Stack Development in 2025?- NareshIt
nareshit.medium.com
A broad full-stack pitch for .NET in 2025, useful mostly as a framing piece rather than a deep technical guide.
Editor's note
I pulled together a pretty practical mix this time: logging, data access, architecture, and a bit of platform news. The EF Core lazy-loading piece and the .NET 10 passkeys standup are especially worth a look because they speak directly to day-to-day app correctness and security.
