Inflow isolates modules by serialising every message to JSON bytes and deserialising it into the receiver's own type - once per receiver. It is the Message Translator done well, and the byte array in the signature tells you exactly which transport it was built for.
Two lines in Trill's module client serialise and immediately deserialise every cross-module message, buying a future network hop at the cost of a round trip that never leaves the heap - and there is a benchmark project defending the choice.
An annotated tour of the JSON document Pactify produces - the serializer settings that shape it, the snake_case field inherited from Pact v1, and the unusual decision to ship the consumer's matching options inside the contract itself.
FeedR moves every tick between services through a two-method streaming abstraction with a no-op default and a Redis implementation - which, despite the namespace, is pub/sub rather than streams. What that seam buys, how DI last-wins overrides it, and what you lose when nobody is listening. Part 4 of the FeedR deep dive.
FastEndpoints binds a single request DTO from JSON, form, route, query, claims, headers, cookies and permissions - in that order, with compiled setters cached per DTO type. Reading the binder explains every binding surprise I have ever hit. Part 4 of FastEndpoints in Depth.
Every stored payload carries a __version stamp; every read walks it up one step at a time. This part dissects VersionKit's lazy migration pipeline - the MigrationRunner API, the JsonElement traps System.Text.Json sets for dictionary code, and reading history on purpose. Part 4 of the Entity Versioning with VersionKit series.
Rename, move, add, remove, type change - VersionKit's attribute surface covers five kinds of schema evolution. This part walks the whole declarative API, the merge rules behind stacked attributes, and what the attributes deliberately refuse to express. Part 2 of the Entity Versioning with VersionKit series.
Rename a property, change a type, ship the release - and every payload you stored last year stops deserialising. Introducing VersionKit, a .NET library that declares schema history as attributes and migrates old data on read.
