24 Days of .NET and Azure Integration: A Technical Advent Calendar
Join me throughout December for 24 days of practical .NET development, Azure Integration PaaS, API management and AI innovation.
Beyond the Endpoint: Building Discoverable, Governed APIs with .NET and Azure
Building APIs is relatively straightforward. Building an API estate that is discoverable, governed and reusable across an enterprise is a different challenge. In this article, we explore how .NET 10, OpenAPI, Azure API Management and Azure API Center work together to establish a more mature API lifecycle, from development and contract validation through to runtime governance, enterprise discovery and AI readiness.
Azure without the chaos: Keeping the cloud clean
If you’ve ever inherited an Azure estate and thought, 'How did we get here?', this one’s for you. It’s rarely one big mistake that creates a messy cloud, it’s hundreds of small decisions that compound: one-off subscriptions, ad-hoc policies, inconsistent tagging, unclear ownership, reactive cost cuts, and “governance” that exists only in a wiki. The good news? You don’t need a massive transformation program to fix it. You need strong defaults, light guardrails, and a way to make the right thing the easy thing.
