In ASP.NET Core BlazorTheir offical "SPA API Auth" involves paying for a third party OAuth server (called Duende IdentityServer, the ASP.NET Core built-in auth solution on the other hand is called ASP.NET Core Identity) and Microsoft refused to ship their own server because that would be "competing with the open source community" (there are multiple long Github threads on this which Microsoft product people would lock and mute). I wonder which PM got kickbacks for that decision. Originally Duende IdentityServer was free under Apache, and then they immediately turned into a paid solution after they became the "official" solution for API Auth. Microsoft also claims that standard cookie auth cannot be used for API Auth in a SPA scenario (their security engineers insist that you use JWTs), if you look through their Github issue threads, the ASP.NET Core engineers

seem to believe that the default ASP.NET Core Identity generic cookie auth is for MVC only and it is "not recommended" for use with SPAs.

They like to hide their dirty laundry behind clever developer advocacy teams and drowning it in Github bureaucracy but here are some examples:

Their PMs are not building an open source product in good faith. As far as they are concerned, ASP.NET Core primarily exists as a funnel to send customers into Azure or buy stuff from Microsoft partner companies. Imagine if Vercel one day removes the standalone server hosting option and requires you to pay for their serverless cloud to use important features. This is what Microsoft is doing here right now with ASP.NET Core. If you lock your stack into their ecosystem, then be prepared to spend money either on redundant cloud subscriptions or developers reinventing the wheel on core features

In [dead]If you’re just looking to be unblocked, use the Web SDK because you’re building and running combined web + hosted services [1]. The section linked shows the precise difference between the Web and Worker SDKs for hosted services.
If you’re looking for docs on what all the SDKs are/do, and their source code, start here [2].
If you’re looking to just add the asp net core packages/apis to your basic sdk/console project, here [3]. But note that your app build/publish probably won’t work 100% because msbuild won’t be configured to do so.
If you want to fix that manually (i.e do what the Web SDK does automatically), You can use the Web SDK props file as a starting point [4]. (Linked to in [2])
It seems well documented to me, but you’re welcome to propose new docs to the aspnet docs team. They’re very responsive [5].

Major version releases have breaking changes. I don't see the issue. I've been doing .NET development since the original version was in beta (20 years now?) For the most part I have no complaints about the docs - and hey you're free to submit a PR against the docs if you want to contribute, have at it: https://github.com/dotnet/AspNetCore.Docs
In Performance Improvements in .NET 6Sure, but... I suggest that it is a trade off in which functionality is exchanged for convention and simplicity...and perhaps not for good reasons, or in a way that encourages good outcomes by default.
If I was under the impression the ASP.NET team was on the ball and agreed with the decision they were making, I'd be more prepared to run with it... but I'm not.
For example, there's an open github issue discussing the concerns people have raised about the ASP.NET team suggesting that razor pages are better than MVC.
Read it yourself and you'll be extremely familiar with the various opinions on the matter:
https://github.com/aspnet/Docs/issues/6146
This, is again, as I said before, an example of not everything that (specifically the ASP.NET team) does, being a good idea.

2 points · Open discussionYou can use the schema to figure out the valid values and descriptions for some of the values, so that might help. I agree that a technical reference would probably help since reading the schema isn't fun.
Doesn't shock me that it's mostly GitHub search since most of our docs are hosted on GH:
