Learn how to build an AI gateway with AgentGateway that fronts DeepSeek, multiplexes six MCP targets, secures them with Keycloak and CEL authorization, adds guardrails and rate limiting, proxies an A2A agent, and ships metrics, traces, and logs to an LGTM observability stack plus Langfuse.
Software Architecture
A practical walkthrough of running MCP servers in production — ToolHive hosts the stdio servers, agentgateway multiplexes them behind one endpoint — with four ways to secure the stack (Context7-style per-user API keys, Keycloak OAuth via the MCP Authorization spec, per-tool CEL authorization, and OIDC browser login for the Admin UI), working configs, live verification, and links into the agentgateway and ToolHive docs.
Software Architecture
Move beyond kubectl and operate multiple Kubernetes clusters from one control plane: install Rancher Manager on k3d, organize workloads into projects instead of raw namespaces, enforce RBAC per team, import a second k3d cluster, and deliver the same .NET 10 todo API from the previous article, with PostgreSQL and RabbitMQ, to all of them with Fleet GitOps.
Software Architecture
Deploy a .NET 10 Minimal API to Kubernetes using k3d for fast local development, add MetalLB when you need real LoadBalancer support on on-premises clusters, learn how Kubernetes Ingress and the Kubernetes Gateway API differ and when to pick each one, and explore the running cluster with k9s and Headlamp.
Software Architecture
Learn both Saga implementation styles — orchestration and choreography — using Wolverine and RabbitMQ. Covers saga state management, compensating transactions, timeout handling, comparison, and integration tests with TestContainers.
Software Architecture
A hands-on guide to four concurrency control strategies in .NET: NoLock, LocalLock, Optimistic, and Distributed (Redis RedLock), built with Vertical Slice Architecture and MediatR.
