ASP.NET Core security, Blazor state, EF Core tuning
This issue covers API security, Blazor state persistence, EF Core tuning, middleware ordering, async streams, and microservice reliability tips.
Jasen's top three picks
- 1 Building a Secure API with ASP.NET Core, JWT, and Refresh Tokens
Medium
A solid JWT/refresh-token walkthrough for teams tightening API auth.
- 2 Prerendering in Blazor — How to persist state using PersistingComponentState
Medium
Blazor prerendering state persistence is the kind of detail that saves real UX headaches.
- 3 The True North of Clean .NET Architecture: Why Boundaries Matter More Than Ever
Medium
Good reminder that EF Core performance work often starts with measuring queries, not guessing.
Editor's note
I pulled a pretty practical mix this time: security, performance, architecture, and a few foundational refreshers. The JWT and refresh-token piece is a good companion to the middleware-ordering article, and the EF Core performance write-up is one I’d expect teams to compare against their own query habits.
