Learn how to implement optimistic concurrency in EF Core using DateTime timestamps and the ConcurrencyCheck attribute to prevent lost updates in multi-user applications without relying on the SQL Server-specific RowVersion.

Explore how to use Endpoint Filters in ASP.NET Core Minimal APIs to handle cross-cutting concerns while keeping your endpoint logic clean, maintainable, and DRY.

By utilizing named query filters, we can define multiple independent filters per entity type, solving the previous single-filter limitation and enabling more flexible data access patterns for complex business scenarios.

By defining response types in our Minimal APIs, we can improve both API documentation and usability. Properly documenting responses ensures clarity for our consumers.

Rate limiting is a technique used to control how many requests a client can make to an API within a certain timeframe. In this article, we will explore how to implement rate limiting in .NET Minimal APIs using the built-in middleware, focusing on the Fixed Window strategy and applying limits per endpoint.
