This lesson develops practical capability in Performance, Caching, Deployment, Monitoring, Troubleshooting, Scaling, and Production Readiness as part of 55340AC: Developing ASP.NET Core Web Applications. Learners connect the concepts to a realistic workplace objective, perform guided work, validate evidence, and document improvements.
The lesson begins by defining the architecture, stakeholders, information flow, operating assumptions, and quality expectations that shape performance, caching, deployment, monitoring, troubleshooting, scaling, and production readiness. It distinguishes essential decisions from optional enhancements and explains how security, governance, usability, cost, and supportability influence the final design.
Learners then map the end-to-end workflow, identify control points, and choose appropriate configuration or analysis steps. Special attention is given to dependencies, permissions, data boundaries, exception handling, documentation, and the evidence required for an accountable operational handoff.
Apply the lesson to a scenario in which an organization must improve developing secure and scalable ASP.NET Core web applications through MVC, Razor Pages, Entity Framework Core, dependency injection, configuration, authentication, authorization, APIs, testing, performance, deployment, monitoring, and troubleshooting. Produce a concise plan, implementation or analysis evidence, a validation checklist, a troubleshooting record, and a prioritized recommendation for the next iteration.
