Home Archive Pub/Sub, MCP, Azure SaaS & CI/CD – .NET News Daily Issue #421 (Mar 27, 2026)

Editor's note

I pulled together a very mixed lineup this time, from MQTT Pub/Sub and MCP to Azure SaaS design and GitHub Actions. The Serilog and .NET-on-Windows posts are especially practical if you want fewer surprises in logging and setup. The MVC and LINQ pieces round out the issue with fundamentals and performance-minded guidance.
