This article is the first in a series of articles about the Datasync Community Toolkit, which is a set of open source libraries for building client-server applications where the application data is available offline. Unlike, for example, Firebase or AWS AppSync (which are two competitors in this space), the Datasync Community Toolkit allows you to connect to any database, use any authenticatio...
This is the last article in a trio of articles about incorporating Keycloak into .NET Aspire applications. Thus far, I’ve covered the basics and some common customizations. This part covers what you need to do if you want to store the identity information within a PostgreSQL database. I’ve chosen PostgreSQL for this because it seems to be the database of choice for Aspire when you want to ru...

Development services get you started quickly and allow you to defer the details until later on. At some point, however, you need to take control of your service and start working towards production. There are a number of things that the development ve...
In my series on ASP.NET Identity, I mentioned (several times) that you should be using Keycloak, Auth0, Corbado, or another identity service instead of rolling your own. That’s all good, but I left it up to you to figure out exactly how to do that. I thought it would be a good idea to configure an Aspire project from the beginning and show how authentication and authorization with a service w...
This article is one of a number of articles I will write over the coming month and will go into depth about the ASP.NET Identity system. My outline thus far: Project setup. Account registration. Signing in and out with a username and password. Password reset. Email confirmations. Social logins. Now that I have the basic flows sorted out (which includes username/password with re...
