Thanks a lot, I'm happy you did find this helpful.

Nice spot, there was a mistake into the csproj and the Serilog config was not loaded in the 'Development' configuration. I've updated the repo with this change.

You can access the logger in MyService class injecting the ILogger class through the constructor:

    public class MyService : IMyService
    {
        private readonly ILogger<MyService> _logger;

        public MyService(ILogger<MyService> logger)
        {
            _logger = logger;
        }

        public async Task PerformLongTaskAsync()
        {
            _logger?.LogInformation("Whatever you want");

            await Task.Delay(5000);
        }
    }
