Master REST principles and build bulletproof .NET Web APIs. Learn resource naming, HTTP methods, status codes, versioning, pagination, error handling, and real-world patterns that separate amateur APIs from production-grade ones.
Learn how to enable S3 versioning, list previous versions, restore deleted files, and permanently delete versions using .NET. Build a minimal API that gives you complete control over your S3 object history.
Stop losing users to Lambda cold starts. Learn how to enable SnapStart for .NET functions, use runtime hooks for optimization, and see real benchmark data showing 58-94% faster cold starts.
Learn how to automatically rotate your RDS database credentials using AWS Secrets Manager and consume them in your ASP.NET Core applications with zero downtime. Part 2 of the Secrets Manager series.
Stop burning AWS credits during development. Learn how to run S3, DynamoDB, and SQS locally with LocalStack, wire them into your .NET applications with simple config switches, and integrate LocalStack into CI for cost-free integration tests.
Learn how to use AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store with ASP.NET Core for managing application configurations. A free-tier alternative to Secrets Manager with full IConfiguration integration, hierarchical parameters, and SecureString encryption.
Learn how to generate AWS S3 presigned URLs in .NET for secure, time-limited file uploads and downloads. Enable direct browser uploads, bypass your server, and keep your S3 bucket private.
Learn how to automate S3 storage management using lifecycle policies in .NET. Build a Blazor WASM app to upload files, view bucket contents with storage class info, and manage lifecycle rules programmatically using predefined templates.
Learn when to use PutItem vs UpdateItem in DynamoDB from .NET 10. Build a minimal API that upserts inventory, runs partial updates with conditions, and handles errors gracefully-all with AWS Console and Visual Studio 2026.
Secure a Blazor WebAssembly client and a .NET 10 API with Amazon Cognito using the OAuth 2.1 authorization code flow with PKCE and refresh tokens, configured entirely in the AWS console.
Build a simple fan-out pipeline on AWS with SNS and SQS using Terraform and .NET 10—one orders API publishes events, and two consumers process them independently.
Learn a simple, repeatable way to structure and build Terraform modules on AWS so your .NET services stay consistent, secure, and easy to reuse.
