When you Include two sibling collections, EF Core 11 returns the cross product and your row count explodes. Here is how AsSplitQuery fixes it, how to turn it on globally, and the consistency and ordering gotchas to watch for.

Calling Task.Run from a controller loses work on shutdown, swallows exceptions, and captures disposed scoped services. The safe pattern is a bounded Channel queue drained by a BackgroundService that opens a fresh scope per work item and drains in-flight work on StopAsync.

A complete guide to ExecuteUpdate and ExecuteDelete in EF Core 11: the SQL they emit, the change-tracker gotcha that silently overwrites your bulk write, transactions, concurrency control with the affected-row count, and the EF Core 10 delegate setters that let you build conditional updates with plain if statements.

A BackgroundService is a singleton, so it cannot inject a scoped service like a DbContext directly. Take IServiceScopeFactory, open one scope per unit of work with CreateAsyncScope, resolve inside it, and dispose it when the work is done.

A step-by-step checklist to replace AutoMapper 15 Profiles, IMapper, ForMember, and ProjectTo with Riok.Mapperly 4.3 source-generated mappers in .NET 11.

A step-by-step checklist to remove MediatR 12-14 and replace IRequest handlers, ISender, pipeline behaviors, and INotification with plain service classes and constructor injection.
