This 👆🏻big time!

Why is it that all modern apps with “feeds” like social media apps or even reading apps like Medium, Substack, etc. exhibit the anti pattern of refreshing and losing your spot if you switch away for even a minute?
It’s absolutely infuriating.

I come back to this repo from time to time. Have it bookmarked actually :)

Speedy recovery !

In this video, Derick Bailey interviews udidahan about the ideas behind a service bus, and why it's better to use something like NServiceBus that promotes distributed systems best practices than to use something like RabbitMQ directly

Thanks for sharing ! I loved these posts showing how business world differs from software world.

What is the MCP Protocol, and why is it spreading so rapidly across IDEs, with all major ones having added support (Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, Zed, Cline and Neovim)?

When one service needs data from another service, what should you do? Is there an alternative to introducing coupling by sharing data? Find out a better way in this webinar recording: All our aggregates are wrong

How did IDisposable and Finalize get introduced into .NET? YouTube video by Microsoft Developer

How did IDisposable and Finalize get introduced into .NET

So this is part of Azure Service SDK ? What about scenario when message handlers need to appear under the “span” that sent the message ? E.g. service A sends bunch of messages to be processed and Service B processes these messages. Wouldn’t this help to group these spans under the parent ?

On a scale of didn't know you could do this, to multiple times per day, how much do you use middle click on apps in the taskbar to open another instance of that app? 👀

You might be queuing without knowing it You may be queuing and not know it! Nightly batch jobs that run updates or send notification emails or generate reports are just a queue masquerading as a database. So let's call a queue a queue and…

If you’ve ever run a nightly batch job to update entity statuses, send notification emails, or generate reports, then you’re already using your database as a kind of queue. You might be queuing without knowing it, and it might bite you!

EventCatalog REVOLUTIONIZES Governance in Event-Driven Architectures | ft. David Boyne YouTube video by Yan Cui

We're back with a new episode of real-world serverless.

I spoke with @boyney123.bsky.social about the hard parts of building event-driven architectures and how EventCatalog can help with event documentation, discovery, versioning, visualization and testing.

Announcing ConsoleApplicationBuilder, DI in console applications, simply: bit.ly/4hmR4A2 #dotnet

While all of them are interesting, I’d pick setting up to move modules out later & orchestration/choreography between logical modules. I think first one is important given pace of change and need to adapt. Second, I’d love to see how logical module boundaries are defined & integrated.

Curious how those modules came to be ? Are they themselves bounded context(s)? What’s the decomposition principle?

We take a #Kafka client, call the producer, send the message, and boom, expect it to be delivered on the other end. And that's actually how it goes.

But wouldn't it be nice to understand better what happens behind the scenes? Yes, then check 👇

My mental model of a service is “technical authority over business capability” (SOA). Microservices then break it down to smaller autonomous parts. So quite often they end up being process view.

So in a way you’re saying that microservice is a logical boundary, which physically could be broken down to smaller pieces (kafka consumer, ETL process etc) ?

Tbh I was always surprised how espn keeps him as an analyst/commentator. No wonder a lot of people were calling him names (for his “professional” opinions). Now this… smh

I really wouldn't mind folks having a more honest conversation about how the complexity is different moving from a micro-service approach to trying to do real, loosely coupled modules inside of a modular monolith. There are some very real challenges w/ the modular monolith approach

Would you mind sharing few of those challenges ?

using PracticalOtel.xUnit.v3.OpenTelemetry.Tests; using Xunit.v3; [assembly: TestPipelineStartup(typeof(OtelTestFramework))] namespace PracticalOtel.xUnit.v3.OpenTelemetry.Tests; public class OtelTestFramework : TracedPipelineStartup { public OtelTestFramework() { traceProviderSetup = tpb => { tpb .AddSource("UnitTests"); }; } }

Updating my xunit and #OpenTelemetry library

Since there's a TestContext now, this is all you need to do to get a trace per test, with status information too.

Add this class and the Assembly attribute to your test project, export some environment variables for OTLP and done

This is yet another story from the tranches, this time about the ease of having a non-obvious memory leak in the C#.

Holiday in Poland, could catch up with some „watch later” NDC talks (including your practical observability in .net 🔭 )

Built-in metrics in .NET - .NET Review the metrics built-in for the .NET runtime and libraries.

Did you know that .NET has LOTS of useful metrics built in:

Did anyone try to upgrade to Express.js v5? I'm considering bumping #Emmett package to it, but I'm not sure if it's worth it (so is it stable etc.).

Thanks in advance for your feedback, or for tagging your friends who can share their experience 🙂
