Here are the things that caught my eye this week in .NET.  I’d love to hear what you found most interesting this week.  Let me know in the comments or on Twitter. ProxyKit A toolkit to create HTTP proxies hosted in ASP.NET Core as middleware. This allows focused code-first proxies that can be embedded in existing ASP.NET Core applications or deployed as a standalone server. Deployable anywhere ASP.NET Core is deployable such as Windows, Linux, Containers, and Serverless (with caveats). Link: https://github.com/damianh/ProxyKit BeeHive A Zero Friction mini-Framework for cloud Actors – currently for Windows Azure only. Implementation is very simple – if you need… Read More »Roundup #30: ProxyKit, BeeHive, Nullable Ref Types, Close Loops & Opening Minds
