Umbraco OpenID Connect example with lightweight external members (Updated) (2 minute read)

Jeroen Breuer updated the Umbraco OpenID Connect example to version 17.4.2, introducing lightweight external members that streamline member identity management. Enabling this feature requires setting ExternalOnly = true, but existing content-based members are not automatically migrated. Users must delete these members for them to be recreated as lightweight external members.

Speed up slow deployments to Umbraco Cloud (1 minute read)

Owain.Codes shares a solution to speed up Umbraco Cloud deployments, which were taking 20 minutes. By pushing changes to a private GitHub repository and adjusting the project file to set CompressionEnabled to false, deployment times improved to 6 minutes. He advises against pushing directly to Cloud.
