Session
From CRUD to Cognitive Pipelines: Designing AI-Aware Backends in .NET

Traditional .NET systems were built around CRUD operations: deterministic, transactional, predictable. But once AI enters the system, the model shifts. Requests become reasoning pipelines. Some steps are deterministic. Others are probabilistic. And suddenly architecture matters more than ever.
In this session, we’ll explore how to design “cognitive pipelines” in ASP.NET Core — systems where AI is embedded as a component, not the brain. We’ll examine where AI fits in clean architecture, how to protect system invariants, and why prompt logic must be treated like versioned APIs.
We’ll also address the rise of “vibe coding” — fast, AI-assisted development — and clarify when it accelerates exploration and when it silently erodes architectural integrity.
