Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • FastEndpoints

    A light-weight REST API development framework for ASP.NET 6 and newer.

  • Bonus Time! In addition to the Microsoft-supported methods above, many community frameworks exist for building APIs with .NET. FastEndpoints is an option I found recently that seems very promising. With performance benchmarks that put them on par with Minimal API, they are firmly ahead of Controller-based APIs.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
