How I Shipped a Production .NET 8 API in 5 Days Without Writing a Single Unit Test (And It Still Has 100% Uptime)

"How I Shipped a Production .NET 8 API in 5 Days Without Writing a Single Unit Test (And It Still Has 100% Uptime)"

🚀 Defy Convention. Ship Faster. Stay Reliable.

They told me I was crazy to skip unit tests. Five days later, my .NET 8 API was live—zero downtime, zero regrets. Here’s the unconventional blueprint that made it possible.

Why This Book?

✅ Speed Without Sacrifice – Learn how to ship fast without cutting corners on stability.
✅ Integration-First Testing – Ditch unit test dogma. Validate real-world behavior with Postman, Newman, and OpenAPI.
✅ Minimal Viable Architecture – Build lean, mean APIs that just work—no over-engineering.
✅ Proven Uptime – My API has 100% uptime in production. Here’s exactly how observability and health checks made it happen.
✅ Real Code, Real Deadlines – No theory—just battle-tested tactics from a 5-day sprint under pressure.

What’s Inside?

🔥 Day-by-Day Breakdown – From scoping to deployment, see how I built a production-ready API in record time.
📊 OpenAPI as a Living Contract – Automate validation and keep docs always in sync with reality.
⚡ Postman + Newman Automation – Scripted tests that catch bugs before they hit production.
🔍 Observability That Works – Logging, health checks, and monitoring that prevent downtime.
💡 When to Break the Rules – A pragmatic guide to skipping unit tests—without risking stability.

Who Is This For?
