Real world
- C# is used for backend APIs, desktop apps, games (Unity), and enterprise systems.
- SaaS products use Production Deployment Best Practices in services, dashboards, background jobs, and API workflows.
- ERP and banking systems apply Production Deployment Best Practices with validation, logging, review, and rollback plans.
- E-commerce and healthcare platforms use Production Deployment Best Practices carefully because reliability and data correctness matter.
Common mistakes
- Mixing async and blocking calls (deadlocks/timeouts).
- Skipping the small working example before adding framework code.
- Ignoring null, empty, duplicate, and boundary inputs.
- Mixing business logic, input handling, and output formatting in one place.
- Using broad error handling that hides the real failure.
- Forgetting to test the behavior after refactoring.
- Adding clever code that future maintainers will struggle to read.
- Not checking performance on realistic input sizes.
Best practices
- Use clear naming, prefer async/await for I/O, and keep methods small.
- Start with clear requirements and one minimal working example.
- Use meaningful names that explain business intent.
- Keep examples small enough to debug line by line.
- Validate input at every trust boundary.
- Handle errors explicitly and preserve useful context.
- Prefer simple control flow over deeply nested logic.
- Separate domain logic from I/O and framework code.
- Write tests for normal, boundary, and failure cases.
- Review security assumptions before production use.
- Measure performance before optimizing.
- Document non-obvious decisions close to the code or in project notes.
- Use official documentation when behavior is version-specific.
- Keep dependencies current and remove unused code.
- Avoid hardcoded secrets, credentials, and environment-specific paths.
- Log operational events without exposing sensitive data.
- Design examples so learners can safely modify and rerun them.
- Prefer maintainability over short-term cleverness.
