CQRS, async, and Azure deployment
Issue #402 mixes architecture, async performance, security hardening, Azure hosting, AI document extraction, and the latest Visual Studio update.

Editor's note
I put together another deliberately mixed lineup: architecture, performance, security, cloud, and tooling all show up here. The CQRS-without-MediatR piece is a practical reset for teams carrying unnecessary abstraction, and the Visual Studio February update is worth skimming if you live in the IDE every day. I also liked the rate limiting and outbox articles because they solve real production problems, not just tutorial ones.
