Daily DevOps & .NET Redaktion

Welcome to the Daily DevOps & .NET repository! This is the source code for our technical blog at daily-devops.net, where we share insights, tutorials, and expertise on DevOps practices, .NET development, cloud computing, and modern software engineering.

🚀 What We Cover

.NET & C# Evolution

Stay updated with the latest .NET releases, features, and improvements. We cover:

• .NET versioning & releases - New versions, release cycles, and long-term support timelines
• C# language features - String handling (SearchValues, StringValues), nullability, constant attributes, and modern syntax improvements
• Performance optimization - CompositeFormat performance boosts, defensive programming patterns, and code profiling
• .NET tooling - CLI expansions, autocomplete improvements, and developer workflow enhancements

Azure & Cloud Architecture

Enterprise cloud patterns and Azure-specific solutions:

• AKS (Azure Kubernetes Service) - Network policies, zero-trust security, networking challenges, and best practices
• Cloud-native development - Infrastructure as code, deployment automation, and scaling patterns
• Health checks & monitoring - Service health verification and system reliability

DevOps & Automation

Modern DevOps practices and automation strategies:

• CI/CD pipelines - Continuous integration and deployment workflows
• Dependency management - Centralized NuGet package management, security updates, and Dependabot automation
• Build automation - PowerShell scripts, automated testing, and deployment strategies
• Configuration management - Error handling, warnings, and environment-specific configurations

.NET Development Patterns

Proven strategies and architectural approaches:

• Job scheduling - Comprehensive series on Hangfire, Quartz.NET, Coravel, NCronJob, TickerQ and comparative analysis
• Legacy code modernization - Introducing nullability in existing projects, retiring deprecated frameworks, technical debt management
• Code quality - Clean code principles, design patterns, instruction-by-design, and metric configuration
• Testing strategies - Testing best practices, pragmatic testing frameworks like TUnit, and avoiding testing pitfalls

Developer Productivity & Tools

Maximize your development experience:

• GitHub Copilot - Leveraging AI assistance effectively, avoiding dependency traps, enhancing coding practices
• Visual Studio - IDE features, building inside Visual Studio, and 2026 improvements
• NuGet ecosystem - Package management, vulnerability assessment, and staying current with dependencies
• Microsoft Certifications - Exam preparation, certification renewal, and professional development tracking

Software Engineering Best Practices

Foundational principles for sustainable development:

• Technical debt - Identifying, measuring, and managing technical debt effectively
• Code reviews & quality - Buzzword-driven development vs. pragmatic approaches, code metrics, and quality standards
• Professional growth - Industry trends, buzzword evaluation, and real-world development practices
• Timing & architecture - When to refactor, how timing impacts technical decisions, and strategic code improvements
