A new community playbook outlines a practical path to migrate legacy .NET apps to .NET 10 using YARP, GitHub Copilot, and Azure App Service.
This guide walks through strangling a legacy .NET app behind YARP, carving off endpoints into .NET 10, and leaning on Copilot to speed scaffolding and refactors. It targets Azure App Service, with the author referencing a “Managed Instance” option, and tools like Visual Studio 2026 for the workflow article.
If your team lives in JetBrains IDEs, Copilot is available via the official plugin plugin. A recent community request to let Copilot edit secret gists signals that capability isn’t available today discussion.
It offers a low-risk path to peel off legacy .NET services while the monolith keeps running.
Copilot can reduce migration toil, but expectations should match current capabilities.
-
terminal
Stand up YARP in front of a high-read legacy endpoint and compare latency/error rates before and after routing.
-
terminal
Time-box a controller/model port with and without Copilot to measure code throughput and review quality.
Legacy codebase integration strategies...
- 01.
Start with read-only routes, add YARP, build parity tests, then switch traffic slice-by-slice.
- 02.
Validate your target Azure App Service SKU and features in your tenant before planning cutovers.
Fresh architecture paradigms...
- 01.
Adopt .NET 10 templates and minimal APIs with a gateway front, making future strangling straightforward.
- 02.
Enable Copilot in your standard IDE for scaffolding, while keeping code review gates tight.
