⚡️ Queues, topics, and reliable asynchrony
Asynchronous messages are one of the key tools for building scalable and resilient . NET systems.
In his article, Adrian Bailador explains the basic principles of messaging architecture: what is the difference between queues and topics, what message delivery models exist, and how to choose between RabbitMQ, Azure Service Bus, and AWS SQS.
The author shows how message brokers help unleash services, increase fault tolerance, and handle tasks in the background without blocking APIs.

⚡️ Scandal around AutoMapper
A vulnerability (CVE-2026-32933) has been discovered in AutoMapper that allows an application to be dropped through a stack overflow in deep recursion and no mapping depth limit.
AutoMapper is one of the most widely used tools in the .NET ecosystem for automatic object-to-object mapping. In 2025, the project switched to a commercial model: the current versions of the library are distributed by subscription, while the old ones (under the MIT license) were left without support.
Despite the high severity of the vulnerability, the developer refused to release fixes for free versions, limiting the patch to only supported (including paid) releases. This caused a wave of criticism: some of the community accuses the author of trying to force users to a paid subscription, while others remind that unsupported open source by definition does not guarantee security updates and may require self-support.

⚡️ The long-awaited FullJoin for LINQ may appear in .NET 11
The .NET community is discussing the addition of a full-fledged full outer join to LINQ — the API has already been provisionally approved, but not yet implemented in the SDK and Entity Framework.
The new FullJoin method will allow data from both sides to be merged without losing elements, including in cases where there are no matches, which will close a long-standing gap in collections.

FullJoin in .NET 11 - potentially
We have Join. We have LeftJoin. We have RightJoin. But somehow we still don't have a proper full outer join in LINQ. That might come soon!

⚡️ Description of data for .NET and Haskell without duplication
The tabularius project offers an approach to cross-language integration in .NET and Haskell projects that allows you to eliminate duplication of data structures.
The solution is based on using C-headers as a single source of truth: they are processed on the Haskell side via FFI, and on the .NET side using the Cesium compiler, which converts C-descriptions into native structures.
