How a change reaches production

Commit, build, test, deploy, observe — with static analysis, dependency and secret scanning in the pipeline, and production feedback changing what gets built next.

What it is

Understanding .NET

Modern .NET is a cross-platform, open-source runtime and framework, with C# as its primary language. It is a common choice in organizations already invested in the Microsoft estate, and performs comparably with other major managed runtimes.

Why it matters

Strong tooling, a large talent pool in enterprise environments, and first-class integration with Azure services. For Microsoft-centric organizations it minimizes the number of distinct ecosystems the engineering function must support.

Problems it addresses

  • “Our applications run on .NET Framework and cannot move to Linux containers.”
  • “We maintain separate stacks for web and services.”
  • “Legacy WCF and WebForms applications are unsupportable.”

Capabilities

  • Service and API engineering

    ASP.NET Core services built for containerized deployment.

  • Framework migration

    Moving from .NET Framework to modern cross-platform .NET.

  • Cloud-native development

    Applications designed for managed platform services.

Use cases

  • .NET Framework migration

    Move Windows-only applications onto a supported cross-platform runtime.

  • Enterprise API development

    Backend services within a Microsoft-centric estate.

  • Line-of-business applications

    Internal systems where Windows and Microsoft estate integration is a requirement rather than a preference.

Before you commit

Prerequisites, governance and risks

The questions that determine whether this will work in your environment, rather than in a demonstration.

What has to be true first

  • Dependency assessment for Windows-only components
  • Test coverage before migration
  • Target runtime version agreed

Governance

Runtime version currency and dependency scanning. .NET Framework applications in particular need a documented migration path rather than indefinite extension.

Risks

  • Windows-only dependencies blocking containerization
  • Long-lived .NET Framework applications accumulating unsupportable dependencies
