Know someone who would benefit from attending my OAuth 2.0 and OIDC training for free?

Nominate them!

Do you want the free seat yourself? Ask someone to nominate you!

Itโ€™s probably not a very popular opinion but teamwork requires a disproportionate amount of effort compared to solo work. Communication overhead, differences of opinions, alignment, etc. suck so much energy out of the individual experience. Itโ€™s rare to read up on any of that.

Microsoft Azure SQL and Entity Framework Core Performance Issues and Solution Many IdentityServer users are upgrading their deployments to the latest version of .NET and Duende IdentityServer. Most upgrades are uneventful and fair, with many users pleasantly surprised by aโ€ฆ

In recent weeks, some of our customers reported performance degradations. You won't believe what happened next ๐Ÿ˜ฑ
