Phase 1: Analysis

Abstract

It was early summer of 2016 and the team was in Hungary for a week of workshops and fun. Every year we would take a week somewhere remote and spend the days learning new, but relevant, skills and the afternoons and evenings building a good company culture and exchange knowledge. Our team had recently hired another backend developer, Tobias, and he was just as eager as me to explore .NET Core. We had spent 2 days penetration testing and had finished a security evaluation of the system. While sitting at a lovely café, we started discussing ASP.NET Core and if that was something we should consider. Naturally, we started talking about dependencies and what could be migrated – and if we had any deal breakers. I pulled up my laptop, and we started going through our packages and references one by one.
