Jimmy Bogard outlines technical roadmaps for AutoMapper and MediatR: restored netstandard2.0 support, plans to add source generators in AutoMapper to improve debuggability while preserving extensibility and IQueryable support, and a MediatR focus on reducing reliance on Microsoft DI to enable richer application pipelines (behaviors, policies, result patterns) plus integrations for Blazor/Minimal APIs and domain events. He also notes recent releases and the commercialization context that enabled this work.

Jimmy Bogard demonstrates integrating Particular’s Service Platform with Aspire by running ServiceControl, ServiceControl Audit/Monitoring, ServicePulse (and supporting stores like RavenDB) in containers alongside RabbitMQ, MongoDB and SQL Server. He shows Aspire container-builder code, explains license injection, persistent volume mounting, endpoint mappings, and workarounds for service readiness and Docker host networking that affect VM access; the post includes code examples and links to the full configuration.

A technical walkthrough of the final steps when migrating an ASP.NET application from .NET Framework to .NET 8: migrate remaining controllers and middleware (including authentication and session), remove proxy/System.WebAdapters shims, deploy the completed .NET 8 app to production, monitor for issues, and perform final cleanup by removing the old .NET 4.8 code and resources.

Jimmy Bogard describes migrating middleware from an ASP.NET MVC 5 / OWIN application to ASP.NET Core. He covers migrating web.config settings, global MVC filters and custom action filters (validation and transaction handling) to ASP.NET Core equivalents (IAsyncActionFilter and DI registration), and discusses handling OWIN components like SignalR and Hangfire while deciding which middleware needs to be ported.

A technical guide for migrating authentication from an ASP.NET 4.8 app to ASP.NET Core: compares cookie-sharing vs remote authentication, explains why cookie sharing may be infeasible, and gives concrete SystemWebAdapters-based configuration and code for remote authentication, session/claim serialization, and middleware setup so both old and new apps can recognize users and claims.
