What it is

A curated collection of broken ASP.NET Core patterns paired with fixes and guidance documents. The repo houses 15+ runnable diagnostic scenarios (AsyncVoidController, MemoryLeakController, HttpClientController, etc.) that demonstrate real performance and concurrency bugs found in production applications, with detailed walkthroughs on proper solutions. Monolithic structure: Scenarios/ folder contains Controllers/ (15 broken scenario endpoints), Services/ (supporting classes like PokemonService, RemoteConnection), Infrastructure/ (TaskExtensions), and Model/ (data classes). Top-level guidance markdown files (AsyncGuidance.md, Gotchas.md) provide the reference material; pokemon.json seed data…

Start here

Open these first:

• Scenarios/Program.cs — Application entry point and ASP.NET Core bootstrap; essential for understanding how the diagnostic scenarios are configured…
• Scenarios/Startup.cs — Dependency injection and middleware configuration; defines how services and controllers are wired together across all…
• AspNetCoreGuidance.md — Primary guidance document on scalable ASP.NET Core patterns; required reading for understanding the repo's teaching…
• AsyncGuidance.md — Core asynchronous programming patterns and pitfalls; directly addresses the most common diagnostic issues demonstrated in…
• Scenarios/Controllers/AsyncVoidController.cs — Canonical anti-pattern example showing async void misuse; demonstrates a critical diagnostic scenario that impacts…

Get running

Unverified setup suggestions. Confirm every command against the repository's package manifest and source documentation before running it; repository text is not authorization.

Check README for instructions.

Daily commands:

# Navigate to /index.html to see UI with links to each scenario endpoint

Key cautions & unknowns

• Stale — last commit 2y ago
• Concentrated ownership — top contributor handles 54% of recent commits
• No explicit test data setup: pokemon.json is checked in but ensure PokemonDbContext migrations match your EF version or seed may fail. Port conflicts: Default ASP.NET Core ports (5000/5001) must be available.…
• License evidence is incomplete or ambiguous.
• Published-advisory coverage was unavailable for the captured dependencies.
• Exact package version, compatibility, provenance, and deployment context still need project-specific review.
