Feature Flags, AI Memory, gRPC, and Security

A varied .NET mix covering API feature flags, file upload sanitization, gRPC vs REST, Azure Functions identity, MCP servers, and interop audits.

Jasen's top three picks

  1. 1
    Feature Flags Beyond the UI

    medium.com

    A good reminder that feature flags belong in backend request paths too, not just front-end switches.

  2. 2
    .NET 10 RDP Honeypot: Logging Source IPs, Usernames, and Login Attempts

    donmahsu.medium.com

    Honeypots are niche, but the logging and observation patterns here can spark broader security monitoring ideas.

  3. 3
    How to Scan and Sanitize File Uploads Before Storage in ASP.NET Core

    cloudmersive.medium.com

    Useful because it separates scanning from sanitizing, which are often incorrectly treated as the same control.

Editor's note

I kept this one deliberately broad, which is usually where the most useful reading lists come from. The feature flags piece stands out because it looks past UI toggles and into API request flow, while the file upload sanitization article is a practical security reminder too many teams postpone. I also liked the MCP server walkthrough for its concrete ASP.NET Core angle and Andrew Lock’s processor-count post for tackling a small but surprisingly real runtime gap.
