In my previous post, I introduced this series in which I’ll share my experiences while learning about the new performance features in C# and the .NET Core (corefx) framework. In this post, I want to focus on benchmarking existing code and establishing baselines. Why Benchmark Code? The reason that I’ve started with benchmarking is that […]
Motivations for Writing High-Performance C# Code A C# Performance Journey: Part 1
This post marks the beginning of what I expect will be a fairly long series of performance related posts. I’ll use this post as of a table of contents for accessing those future posts as well as to begin the series by discussing my personal motivations for learning more about writing high-performance C# code. I’m […]
Running AWS S3 (Simple Storage Service) Locally for .NET Core Developers Configuring an ASP.NET Core application to use a local S3 Docker container
In a previous post, I described how to run AWS DynamoDb locally using the AWS supplied docker image. I’ve recently been doing some work where I’m benchmarking code that works against AWS services. For example, I’m working to optimise speed and reduce allocations when downloading and parsing a file from AWS S3. I was curious […]
Publishing to AWS Simple Notification Service (SNS) from ASP.NET Core Building distributed systems with .NET Corea and AWS
In this post, I’ll demonstrate how to publish a message to AWS Simple Notification Service from an ASP.NET Core application. The same steps will work just as easily from a .NET Core generic host based console application also. I’ve decided to cover them here as I couldn’t find a specific piece of documentation for this […]
ASP.NET Core 2.2 – Options Validation Exploring the new validation feature when using the options pattern in ASP.NET Core.
I was listening to this week’s ASP.NET Community Standup and during the introduction, Jon Galloway shared Andrew Lock’s blog post, “Delaying strongly-typed options configuration using PostConfigure in ASP.NET Core“. It sparked some discussion, during which Damien Edwards mentioned a new feature in ASP.NET Core 2.2 called Options Validation which I hadn’t previously explored. The functionality […]
