Field Notes : .NET Core and Docker in Production
summary
Gives a hands‑on account of running .NET Core on Linux in production using Docker images built with multi-stage builds, orchestrated with ECS and Terraform, CI via CodeShip, images in AWS ECR, Postgres on RDS, logging with Serilog→Seq, and build scripts in Cake. Describes building, tagging-by-environment deployments that work but are awkward, an ECS health‑check timeout that caused a late‑night outage, intermittent ECS provisioning quirks, and SSL differences across runtimes — practical lessons, gotchas, and next steps for config and secrets.
