API performance, Web API, and .NET 10 testing
A varied .NET issue with API performance, Web API basics, Blazor on Docker, async internals, event-driven systems, and EF Core testing.

The .NET 10 standup is worth a watch if browser testing is on your roadmap.
Editor's note
I kept this issue deliberately mixed: performance, architecture, tooling, and a few fundamentals all made the cut. The CPU cache optimization piece is a good reminder that low-level details still matter, and the .NET 10 automated browser testing standup is especially useful for teams planning ahead. There’s also solid practical value in the EF Core persistence testing article and the background jobs guidance.
