Explore monolith architecture in C# -- what it is, the types of monolithic architectures, when to use them, and how .NET developers work with each effectively.

Welcome to another issue of Dev Leader Weekly!

This week wraps up the C# Visitor pattern series with real-world examples, best practices, a decision guide, and step-by-step implementation, plus a complete guide to logging in .NET with ILogger, Serilog, and OpenTelemetry. There's also deep HttpClient in .NET 10 coverage on observability, resilience, streaming, and DNS handling, along with practical guides to creating and understanding NuGet packages.

Step-by-step guide to creating a NuGet package in C# using dotnet pack. Learn how to configure your .csproj, set package properties, and generate a .nupkg file.

How to implement HttpClient logging and observability in .NET 10 -- covering built-in ILogger integration, DelegatingHandler for custom request logging, OpenTelemetry tracing and metrics, and redacting sensitive headers in production.
