DTO-sharing Strategies in ASP.NET Core #3 - Shared Kernel for Cross-Service Contracts

Here we take a different path — implementing a Shared Kernel to manage common DTOs across multiple services. You’ll learn how to identify which contracts truly belong in a shared project, how to structure and publish the Shared Kernel, and what versioning and dependency management look like in this model. We’ll discuss the pros and cons of shared codebases, balancing reusability against the risk of tight coupling. This episode gives you the practical tools to implement shared DTOs responsibly within your solution.
