Use keyed services in ASP.NET Core
A few years ago I wrote an article describing how ASP.NET Core DI container behaves when multiple implementations of an interface are registered. It's time to revisit the concept because .NET 8 has something better to offer -- Keyed Services. I am going to use the same example that I used in the earlier article. We will modify the example for .NET 8.

Store connection string in Azure App Service and Azure Key Vault
In the previous article you learned to deploy an ASP.NET Cor web app in an Azure App Service using two techniques. Recollect that we are storing the database connection string in the appsettings.json file. And we need to change it to match the production setup at the time of deployment. In this article we will discuss two better ways of storing the database connection string. Firstly, we will learn to store the connection string into the Azure App Service itself. And then we will store it in Azure Key Vault.

Use Endpoint Filters and Route Groups in Minimal APIs
ASP.NET Core Minimal APIs allow you to quickly create controller-less HTTP APIs with minimal dependencies. A minimal API typically has an endpoint URL and an endpoint handler. At times you want to intercept an endpoint handler so that you can add pre and post processing to the endpoint handler. That's where Endpoint Filters come into picture. When there are too many endpoints, it makes sense to group them using a common URL prefix. This is taken care by Route Groups. In this article we will examine both with a few examples.
