Managing configuration in .NET applications can become a tangled mess if not approached thoughtfully. If you’ve ever worked with appsettings.json or passed configuration values manually across your codebase, you’ve likely encountered issues like scattered string keys, typo-prone lookups, and challenges…
What we’re doing today (and why) Yesterday (Day 1) we stood up two endpoints: Today we’ll refactor the project so those endpoints (and every new one we add) remain clean, readable, testable, and easy to evolve. No new business features…
What we will build today (and why) Today we lay the cornerstone of the entire book: two REST endpoints for our Task resource. This sounds simple, but it’s where many APIs drift from REST and become hard to evolve. We’ll…
Abstract This document provides a thorough examination of an end-to-end cryptographic middleware designed for ASP.NET Core applications. The middleware facilitates secure message exchange between a client and a server by enforcing transport-layer security (HTTPS), verifying digital signatures, encrypting and decrypting…
Abstract In the realm of distributed systems and infrastructure engineering, achieving high availability, fault tolerance, and scalability is essential for maintaining operational continuity. This whitepaper provides an in-depth exploration of eliminating single points of failure (SPOFs), integrating foundational concepts such…
Concept Explanation A proxy server and a reverse proxy are intermediary systems that facilitate communication between clients and servers, but they differ fundamentally in their orientation, purpose, and operational context. As of 05:00 PM IST on Friday, September 26, 2025,…
Concept Explanation A Content Delivery Network (CDN) is a geographically distributed network of servers designed to enhance the delivery speed, reliability, and scalability of digital content, including web pages, images, videos, and applications, to end-users across the globe. As of…
Concept Explanation The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical, distributed naming system that serves as a critical infrastructure component of the internet, facilitating the translation of human-readable domain names (e.g., www.example.com) into machine-readable Internet Protocol (IP) addresses (e.g., 192.0.2.1).…
Concept Explanation System design interviews are a critical component of technical evaluations for software engineering roles, particularly at leading technology firms, where candidates are assessed on their ability to architect scalable, reliable, and efficient systems. The “10 BIG Questions of…
