About the Workshop

Building Secure and Scalable Minimal APIs with ASP.NET 10 is a full-day, hands-on workshop by Chris Woodruff. Attendees build one complete API, Roastery, from an empty project through data, security, performance, testing, and deployment, with a git checkpoint at the end of every lab.

The workshop covers:

  • Minimal API fundamentals: route groups, binding, typed results, endpoint filters, and OpenAPI
  • EF Core with SQLite, DTOs, .NET 10 built-in validation, and ProblemDetails
  • ASP.NET Core Identity, JWT bearer authentication, and policy- and resource-based authorization
  • API hardening: rate limiting, CORS, HTTPS, secure headers, and the OWASP API Top 10
  • Output caching and HybridCache, background services, resilient HttpClient, health checks, and OpenTelemetry
  • Integration testing with WebApplicationFactory
  • .NET Aspire, container images, and API versioning
