Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Exception Handling in C# Methods returning object
A lot of people have given you good replies, but have you looked at Refit?
-
Http calls on mobile, what is the preferred way / best practice
Another question that rises is, would it be better to use some HttpClient package to handle the requests, like Refit in combination with Polly. But then again, it seems Refit also uses the HttpClient factory, which was a bad thing according to the previous?
-
Refactor your dotNET HTTP Clients to Typed HTTP Clients
Define a Refit client interface with the following for each API endpoint, e.g. GET /foo:
-
HttpClient best approach
Use RestEase to create your own client library. Refit is a very similar and more popular library. IMO RestEase is an improvement over Refit and I prefer it, but either will solve your problems. Both are libs that have you build interfaces describing the API endpoints, then the library handles all the boilerplate code that calls HttpClient.

What your hidden nuget gems ?
Refit - simple, typed REST clients: https://github.com/reactiveui/refit
-
how to structure code for rest api calls
I'd advise using this https://github.com/reactiveui/refit tool for HTTP requests. It saves a lot of time for serialization, deserialization and exception handling.
-
Roadmap for transition from Java
Use Refit, and let manage the live of HttpClient. Also, Refit will give you a strongly typed client around an API. All you have to write is the interface. Ain't that neat ? If you can't, use the HttpClientFactory to create the HttpClient instance: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/architecture/microservices/implement-resilient-applications/use-httpclientfactory-to-implement-resilient-http-requests

ASP.NET Core - how to properly make a GET request?
Use RestEase to create your own client library. Refit is a very similar and more popular library. IMO RestEase is an improvement over Refit and I prefer it, but either will solve your problems. Both are libs that have you build interfaces describing the API endpoints, then the library handles all the boilerplate code that calls HttpClient.

Integration tests without API dependencies with ASP.NET Core and WireMock.Net
The controller is simple and use the Refit library to abstract the PokéAPI call and then, returns the data.

I love refit
To be fair, Refit is pretty great.

The Retry Pattern and Retry Storm Anti-pattern
In our applications, we should wrap all requests to remote services in code that implements a retry policy that follows one of the strategies I listed earlier. If you are a .NET developer like myself, you may be familiar with the Polly library. Golang has a library called Retry, and there are numerous third-party libraries for Python and Java.

[Question] HttpClient does not recover from error
D'Oh! Sorry, not PolySharp. I meant Polly. Too many similarly-named libraries!
-
I thought "Availability Groups" would be 100% "seamless"
Everywhere I've worked with AGs, we've worked with the application team to add retry logic to help make things a bit more seamless to end users. There are libraries out there that can make this pretty easy - Polly is one that I've used a few times, but there are others.
-
Do you really need "microservices"?
Fallacy 1: The network is reliable. If system 2 works perfectly well, but is not accessible for service 1 due to network issues, service 2 is still unavailable. This is why timeouts, service breakers and retry policies exist. A great tool for .NET to handle common network issues is Polly, but even when using a tool like this, the network is still not completely reliable.
-
Only "exit 1" if VISIBLE errors are thrown during script invocation, ignoring try/catch blocks
I see. Then I don't have any better idea right now, but I do want to suggest that if your script is mostly API calls and you want to be able to deal with failures then take a look at the polly library: https://github.com/App-vNext/Polly

Getting back into C# after a hiatus, any good reading material recommendations to get back up to speed? Been using Kotlin recently, and got quite a lot of experience in engineering.
Runs in containers nicely, has good integration with Kafka, RabbitMQ, gRPC, etc. for Microservices communication. Implements resiliency patterns you'd want in Microservices via Polly. Has a decent Dependency Injection framework built in by default.

What your hidden nuget gems ?
It's in no way hidden. But I use Polly all the time.
