Learn how to build an AI gateway with AgentGateway that fronts DeepSeek, multiplexes seven 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
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.
Software Architecture
A complete walkthrough of wiring up distributed tracing, metrics, and structured logging for a .NET microservices application using OpenTelemetry, the OpenTelemetry Collector, Prometheus, Tempo, Loki, Grafana, and an optional ELK stack sidecar.
Software Architecture
A practical .NET DevSecOps GitHub Actions design that splits CI and CD, layers quality gates, local Husky hooks, Checkov, Semgrep, CodeQL, optional Sonar, Microsoft Testing Platform coverage with Cobertura and Coveralls, SBOM generation, Cosign signing, provenance attestation, automatic main-to-dev deployment, tag-to-staging promotion, and manual-gated production release with smoke, k6, and ZAP validation.
Software Architecture
A practical guide to structuring preview, release candidate, and production versions with Semantic Versioning, Nerdbank.GitVersioning, and GitHub Actions.
