In this article, we are going to implement Response Caching with MediatR in ASP.NET Core using its awesome Pipeline Behaviours. I have written a couple of articles about MediatR and why it's one of the MUST USE libraries for .NET Developers.
Let's build an ASP.NET Core application that caches frequently accessed data to a Redis instance, which runs locally on a Docker Container. Redis is the most popular distributed cache provider that offers robust features and scalability options, making it suitable for various applications and deployment scenarios.
The AWS Message Processing Framework for .NET is a wrapper over the AWS Messaging Services like Amazon SNS, SQS, and Event Bridge that helps reduce a significant amount of boilerplate code needed to interact with these AWS Services, further simplifying the development of messaging in .NET applications. In this article, we will explore this framework, and build sample applications that would use SQS, and SNS.
Caching! In this article, we will explore the fundamentals of caching and demonstrate how to implement in-memory caching in ASP.NET Core applications. We'll start by building a simple endpoint to set and retrieve cache entries from the in-memory cache. Following that, we'll create another endpoint to showcase the noticeable performance improvement - over 80% faster - achieved through caching. We will also cover some important topics like cache invalidation.
Learn how to use MediatR Pipeline Behavior to implement Validations with FluentValidation in ASP.NET Core applications. This pattern is extremely powerful when clubbed with IExceptionHandler, and can help you build super clean solutions with an elegant way to handle Validations!
CQRS, or Command Query Responsibility Segregation helps you build super clean and scalable systems with ease. In this article, we will explore this pattern, and use the MediatR package in ASP.NET Core to implement the CQRS Pattern and build a simple yet clean CRUD application in .NET! We will also look into how MediatR notifications work.
Amazon DynamoDB is the go-to serverless NoSQL Solution from AWS and is very sought-after for building serverless applications on the cloud. Pagination is one feature that helps massively improve your application response times in case you have large volumes of data stored in your database. In this article, we will learn about implementing pagination in Amazon DynamoDB with the .NET AWS SDK!
Multi-thread programming is essential to building high-performance applications, especially those expected to scale. This article will teach us about handling concurrency in Amazon DynamoDB with Optimistic Locking. When multiple threads try to access/modify the same record in DynamoDB, there can be data inconsistencies and conflicts. To combat this, we will implement optimistic locking to ensure your data is not lost or overridden.
Let's build an automated AWS IAM Access Key Rotation Lambda using AWS Lambda, SNS Notifications, and Amazon EventBridge Schedulers. We will be writing the entire AWS Lambda code in C#.
Let's learn how to Schedule AWS Lambda with Amazon EventBridge Scheduler using rate and cron expressions. This is part of my ongoing .NET on AWS series, where we explore and learn about various AWS Services that can benefit you, as a .NET Developer. This is yet another piece of article where we learn about the serverless scheduler that Amazon offers. In simple words, Amazon EventBridge Scheduler helps you build event-driven applications, schedule tasks within the AWS ecosystem, and more.
GenAI, short for Generative AI, is at the forefront of technological evolution, representing a groundbreaking paradigm in artificial intelligence. In this article, we are going to deep dive into this exact topic by integrating Generative AI in .NET with Amazon BedRock. Together, we will explore and build a .NET application that can generate AI chats and even images using the seamless integration with Amazon BedRock and its GenAI foundational models.
Let's discuss securing Confidential Data and Secrets in ASP.NET Core with AWS Secrets Manager. We will also walk through various aspects and concepts of Secrets Management in your ASP.NET Core Application
