Professional Web APIs using ASP.NET Core 2.1
summary
Builds a small genealogy API that actually calls genderize.io and shows working code: HTTP client factory + refit for typed clients, Polly policies for retries/timeouts/circuit-breaker, health checks that surface external dependency status, NSwag-generated OpenAPI docs, Application Insights logging/metrics, user secrets for keys, API versioning, AutoRest client generation and in-memory integration tests via TestServer. Demonstrates configuration, where numbers matter (timeouts, retry counts), the generated client and health endpoint work, and feature toggles let new behavior ship safely.
