No, You Really Don't Need MediatR in .NET

Summary

Nick discusses alternatives to using the Mediator package in C# and .NET, arguing that its functionality can be replaced with built-in ASP.NET Core features. He demonstrates how to implement similar request handling and cross-cutting concerns like logging and validation without relying on the Mediator package. The key takeaway is that developers can achieve the same pipeline and behavior capabilities directly through ASP.NET Core, making third-party Mediator packages unnecessary for most use cases.
