All tests for cds-caching 1.0 are finally green. πŸŽ‰
Took me much longer than expected. While Cursor (Claude) delivered great value in the beginning, it was a pain to make it connect all dots in the end. In the end, we actually had to switch roles... πŸ˜„
Now off to some documentation...

Since there is no option to de-prioritze anything else… itβ€˜s a 10 (overly tired) days out of 10. πŸ˜„

Havenβ€˜t really played a video game for quite a while. #ClairObscur #Expedition33 looked interesting, so I gave it a shot. I only had little time to play, but itβ€˜s the best game I have played for decades! Really felt the awe and wonder like when I was a 12 year old boy. πŸ˜€
Highly recommended!

As a family of 5 we are now in the 3rd wave of a wild mix of flu, covid, etc. since the beginning of February. I hoped things would be different after Kindergarten, but having kids in 3 different schools is even worse. Doesn't really help you, but a sorrow shared is a sorry halfed. πŸ˜€ Get well soon!

Mine has already been removed in January. Makes total sense to limit access for highly motivated individuals working with and promoting #SAP tech... NOT! πŸ€”

Thatβ€˜s why I decided to just live with typos and never change a formatted blog post in the @sapcommunity.bsky.social πŸ˜”

@sapcommunity.bsky.social sadly is in a bad state. Some (many?) good people left because of the many issues (formatting, spam-flagging) and content moderation on such stupid posts is non-existent. SAP Community has been my place to go for years, but potentially I have to search for alternatives...

It currently feels a little like Twitter in the β€žgood old daysβ€œβ€¦ except itβ€˜s more quiet. Let’s hope some good noise will come back… and the rest just stays on X. πŸ˜„

Thanks, @maxstreifeneder.bsky.social! πŸ˜€

Finishing and thoroughly testing the plugin may take another week or two, but I’d love to get your feedback once it’s done. In the meantime, do you have any specific requirements?

cds-data-replication on the other hand could be a nice little helper for more use cases. Easily bringing in data from external OData/REST services without having to rely on other replication tools like SDI, MDI, Cloud Integration, RDF, etc. but only using the mighty power of CAP. πŸ‘πŸ˜ƒ

Put those 3 last year on my bucket list for Q1 out of personal interest to use them in current and upcoming projects. At least 2 cover edge cases (Kafka, caching) and I would be happy to support if someone else jumps in. πŸ˜€

CAP Plugin 3 (of 3) is making progress! It enables data replication between services with easy configuration via annotations. Features include full/delta loads, eventing, transformations, simple monitoring, and more. While there’s still work to do, the core functionality is already performing well.

Thanks, Marian! πŸ™ These are topics I’ve worked on over the years, but I never had the time to distill the essence and share them to help others skip the toughest parts. Still, some more to come! πŸ˜„

Yes, night owl too. πŸ˜„ But that was way too long even for me. I really pushed hard to get this out... but I wasn't expecting the end boss fighting becoming so hard... the SAP community blogging engine... 😜

Finally shipped cds-caching, an open-source #SAPCAP plugin with advanced caching functionality baked into CAP. Took me a while to battle the @sapcommunity.bsky.social blog engine, but I finally won and there now is a blog post explaining some of the plugin's features and potential use cases. πŸ”₯

This took way longer than I had hoped for, but all tests are green now and I think it works quite well. Also having learned a lot on the #sapcap internals. cds-caching is not yet released as an NPM module, but it will be once I added the missing docs. #caching #redis github.com/mikezaschka/...

I already thought VSCode and Copilot were great, but Cursor and Claude just blew my mind. 😳

You are using .after("READ"…) to make things loud. .after and .before are working fine in that scenario, but an .on-handler simply wonβ€˜t get triggered, when registered this way from the outside.

Thank you for providing such valuable content! Spent the last hours trying to register on-hooks via the same technique. Sadly without success. In the end, I found some ways via prepend or a magic handler_ function, but that's not really well documented. Any hint from you on this? πŸ˜€

@danjoa.bsky.social Any news on the Node.js version of the dashboard? πŸ˜€

Playing around with request caching (not replication) in #SAPCAP. Might have found a nice way to hook into Application and RemoteServices, so it's just using a plugin and annotations will do the magic. Has anyone else looked into caching in CAP?

Mulholland Drive left me speechless years ago, and it’s been on my rewatch list ever since. Perhaps today is the right time. A very sad loss...
