OpenTelemetry Logs, Fast APIs, Agent Memory
Covers Serilog-style OpenTelemetry logging, 1M req/min API design, MAUI Material 3, Agent Framework memory, and ASP.NET Core subfolder hosting.
Jasen's top three picks
- 1 Bringing Serilog-Style Destructuring to OpenTelemetry Logs
medium.com
A useful bridge for teams moving from Serilog to OpenTelemetry without giving up structured payloads they depend on.
- 2 Why an Interface Is a Projection of Capability
medium.com
A thoughtful design-oriented take on interfaces that goes beyond syntax and into modeling capability cleanly.
- 3 Designing high-throughput APIs for 1M requests/minute .NET
blog.elmah.io
Worth a read if you care about throughput under budget pressure, not just raw benchmark bragging rights.
Editor's note
I put together another deliberately mixed issue today, and the OpenTelemetry logging piece stood out because it tackles a migration gotcha teams actually hit in production. I also liked the high-throughput API article for its practical scaling focus, and Rick Strahl’s ASP.NET Core subfolder post is the kind of deployment detail that saves real time when you need it.
