Dapper is a micro ORM (Object Relational Mapper) for .NET that is nearly as fast as using a raw ADO.NET data reader. It is a great alternative to Entity Framework, especially when performance is a top priority and you don’t need all the features of a “heavy” ORM.
In this post, I will provide an example of creating a generic CRUD repository that leverages the performance of Dapper while providing flexibility for a multitude of scenarios..
Problem
I was pushing a new Docker image tag for each application code commit, and the admins of the private registry were getting annoyed at how much space I was using.
Solution Summary
Yes, I know there are strategies to clean up old tags but I first wanted to reduce the impact of the tags I was pushing. With the right layering strategy, I knew I could reduce the net registry size increase of consecutive tag pushes.
I wanted to only push what had actually changed in the application. In addition to reducing the impact on the registry, having smaller tag deltas could possibly speed up rolling deployments since nodes could potentially have less to download.
Spring Boot is a framework designed to simplify the bootstrapping and development of a new Spring application. The framework takes an opinionated approach to configuration, freeing developers from the need to define a boilerplate configuration. MongoDB is a simple set up and easy to use document database. A RESTful API is an application program interface (API) that uses HTTP requests to GET, PUT, POST and DELETE data.
In this post, I will demonstrate the process of creating a RESTful web application with Spring Boot and MongoDB.
My favorite new technology as a developer is serverless computing. The convenience and cost make it a very compelling choice for running options in the cloud. Especially for proof of concepts or quick ways to prove out ideas. Using serverless computing to get up and running takes very little effort and the costs of running an application in the cloud are minimal. Serverless really empowers developers to act on ideas as quickly as possible.
In this post, I’m going to briefly touch on what serverless computing is and the pros and cons of using it. Then I will build a Node.js service to do CRUD operations using AWS Lambda, DynamoDB, and the Serverless Framework. You can view the finished product on Github.
The Keyhole Software team is excited to announce that we are the new organizers of the official Hyperledger Kansas City Meetup group.
This meetup group will discuss all topics related to Hyperledger blockchains. The group seeks to provide an opportunity for Kansas City professionals to network with others who are interested in, or working with, Hyperledger blockchain networks.
Hyperledger is an open source collaborative effort created to advance cross-industry blockchain technologies. It is a global collaboration hosted by The Linux Foundation including leaders in finance, banking, Internet of Things, supply chain, manufacturing, and technology.
The first inaugural meetup of the group is scheduled for Wednesday, December 5, 2018, titled “Hyperledger Fabric In Action.”
Get RSVP’d to attend…
