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

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)? Today's deepdive goes into just this: newsletter.pragmaticengineer.com/p/mcp

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

I only learned today that Mel Conway is on bsky. Follow: @conways-law.bsky.social

How did IDisposable and Finalize get introduced into .NET youtu.be/FMgQSzBJqT8?...

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? 👀

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!

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. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVl7...

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

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 👇 www.architecture-weekly.com/p/how-a-kafk... 1/

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

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 #dotnet #testing

Blogged: "Times, Finalizers and Memory Leaks" sergeyteplyakov.github.io/Blog/product... This is yet another story from the tranches, this time about the ease of having a non-obvious memory leak in the C#. #csharp, #dotnet

Did you know that .NET has LOTS of useful metrics built in: learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet... #dotnet

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 🙂

One thing I’m missing dearly: the golden days of tech Twitter. A stream of insightful threads, tips, and discoveries - from how tos, to white papers. You could bookmark and dive into later, learning so much in the process. I really hope I’ll find something similar here 🤞

Hey #dotnet folks if you’re using a CI/CD double check your resource URLs. A CDN has gone bankrupt and may cease operations in the next month. We are working to make transparent fixes but you can be proactive github.com/dotnet/core/...

You maybe know about WIN + D to minimize all your apps, but did you know about WIN + Home that minimizes all apps except the one in focus? Both are great for clearing up clutter Happy Keyboard Shortcut Advent Calendar Day 23 😊🎄🎁

It seems that you can give #ArchitectureWeekly as a gift. That’s probably not the best gift you can give for Christmas but still better than socks or photo frame, so there you have it www.architecture-weekly.com/subscribe?gi... 🤷‍♂️🎅

GitHub Copilot Free in Visual Studio -

I'm doing a lot of technical analysis these days and nothing raises red flags higher than the overuse of buzzwords to explain commodity technologies. Boring technologies that just work are exciting. It means your customers can buy your product and move on to something else. Focus on that.

I’ve wanted to see how far we could push the limits of C#’’s native AOT support. There’s been so many advances in low level C# features, it makes this sort of interop much fun to write #dotnet #aspnetcore github.com/davidfowl/II...
