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.
