Guidelines for introducing and using nullable reference types (NRT) and System.Diagnostics.CodeAnalysis nullable attributes in C# / .NET codebases. Covers the nullability model, flow analysis, the null-forgiving operator, API design rules, the full attribute…
Provides guidance for implementing OpenTelemetry instrumentation in .NET codebases, covering tracing (Activities/Spans), metrics, logs, naming conventions, error handling, performance, SDK setup, resources, context propagation, and API design best practices.
Build reactive/event-driven C# with R3 (Cysharp's modern reimplementation of Reactive Extensions). Covers the Observable<T>/Observer<T> model, the OnErrorResume error contract, async dispatch with AwaitOperation, Task/IAsyncEnumerable integration,…
Write modern, high-performance C# code using records, pattern matching, value objects, async/await, Span<T>/Memory<T>, and best-practice API design patterns. Emphasizes functional-style programming with C# 12+ features.
Design stable, compatible public APIs using extend-only design principles. Manage API compatibility, wire compatibility, and versioning for NuGet packages and distributed systems.
Critical Akka.NET best practices including EventStream vs DistributedPubSub, supervision strategies, error handling, Props vs DependencyResolver, work distribution patterns, and cluster/local mode abstractions for testability.
Akka.Management for cluster bootstrapping, service discovery (Kubernetes, Azure, Config), health checks, and dynamic cluster formation without static seed nodes.
Write unit and integration tests for Akka.NET actors using modern Akka.Hosting.TestKit patterns. Covers dependency injection, TestProbes, persistence testing, and actor interaction verification. Includes guidance on when to use traditional TestKit.
