Crypto exchange rate limiting: fixed window vs leaky bucket (stop 429s)
A production-first playbook to stop 429 storms: diagnose the limiter type, add guardrails, and log the signals you need to stop guessing.

The real cost of retry logic: when “resilience” makes outages worse
Retry storms don’t look like a bug — they look like good engineering until production melts. Here’s how to bound retries with stop rules and proof.
Thread pool starvation: the silent killer of ASP.NET performance
When CPU looks fine but everything times out: how thread pool starvation happens, how to prove it with real signals, and the smallest fixes that stop repeat incidents.

Timeouts first: why infinite waits create recurring outages in .NET
Infinite waits do not look like crashes. They look like calm dashboards and growing backlog. This is the production playbook for adding time budgets safely in .NET.

Why your background jobs hang forever (and no one notices)
Queues and scheduled jobs fail quietly: missing timeouts, missing heartbeats, and retries that hide failure. A practical runbook-style playbook for .NET systems.

Why agents loop forever (and how to stop it)
A production playbook for preventing infinite loops: bounded retries, stop conditions, error classification, and escalation that actually helps humans.

Resources
Browse allHttpClient 429 + Retry-After package
A copy/paste handler that parses Retry-After (seconds and HTTP date) plus a 429 runbook and logging fields so throttling becomes bounded, observable, and non-amplifying in .NET.
Correlation IDs package (HTTP + jobs)
A correlation ID contract plus copy/paste ASP.NET Core middleware and an HttpClient handler so correlation survives HTTP and background job boundaries and incidents become one-query diagnosable.

Founder & Lead Engineer
I help teams keep automation and .NET systems stable in production: stop duplicate side effects, fix retry storms, make failures observable, and ship guardrails fast. If you’re dealing with 429s, timeouts, runaway jobs, or “it fails but the logs don’t say why”, I’ll help you stabilize first and then harden so it stays fixed.
