Ever had an API go totally rogue while your app still needs to look cool and collected?

This new deep-dive breaks down how to keep your UI snappy, your downstream calls sane, and your retries civilized. Check out the full breakdown: msft.it/63325txBhd
illustration explaining how a background service fits into a backend architecture. It shows: An API icon on the left, representing incoming requests or tasks to be queued. A gear with a clock symbol in the center, depicting the background service that processes work asynchronously. A database stack on the right, indicating stored jobs or processed data. Below, a server stack labeled “BACKEND STACK,” emphasizing that the background service runs behind the scenes as part of the system’s infrastructure. Overall, it visually communicates how background services handle work reliably and independently of user-facing operations.
