You Don’t Need MediatR? I Built My Own 🚀
|
Hey Reader, You may have seen the recent blog post from Jimmy Bogard (creator of MediatR and AutoMapper) announcing that these libraries are going commercial. And to be clear, I fully support that. Time is money, and supporting your family always comes first. BUT… In most of my projects, I don’t actually use everything MediatR offers. I usually just need a small part of it, the classic "send a request, get a response" pattern. So I thought: why not build a simple version myself?
👉 That’s exactly what I did in my latest video: I show you how to create your own lightweight MediatR-style handler system using just interfaces and a little bit of reflection. You’ll learn how to:

Hey Reader, .NET 10 is almost here, and it brings a big upgrade for validation in Minimal APIs. In this week’s tutorial, I’ll walk you through how validation works now in .NET 10 (using Entity Framework, Scalar, and Minimal APIs). Before, writing validation logic in each endpoint was a pain. You had to manually check for null values, invalid quantities, or missing fields. But in .NET 10, that’s all built-in and super clean. Watch the full tutorial now: 👇 Happy coding! Take care, Patrick
