Azure Serverless: Functions and Logic Apps
This is a perfect opportunity for us to explore cloud serverless offerings as the ultimate contact-less development option. While COVID-19 continues to make face-to-face collaboration an impossibility, cloud-based applications and workloads provide a well-defined method for remote development and project deployment. Serverless offerings, like Azure Functions and Azure Logic Apps, take this to the next level while allowing us, as developers, to focus only on our application functionality and not the backing infrastructure or uptime of servers. These serverless solutions will be the focus of this blog.
Go “On The Fly”
People that know me, know that I love to fly fish and tie flies. I made up the saying “Time flies when you’re tying flies.” It is true, just like when you are trying to solve a programming problem, time flies.
Over the past few years, we at Keyhole have utilized Docker (with assorted technologies) and have gotten up to speed on the Hyperledger blockchain framework. Something that all of these technologies have in common is the Go language. Go is the language used to implement Docker, Hyperledger, OpenShift, and many other system-level applications.
Personally, I like to peek under the hood to better understand the tools I’m using. That led me to learning about the Go language. And in my opinion, the best way to learn a language is to build something.
So, I built an application for fly tying videos. There are numerous fly tying tutorials on YouTube, so I built an application that allows them to be organized into virtual fly boxes and types.
In this blog, I will introduce you to the Go language. We’ll go over some of the key language concepts by walking through how the https://flytyerworld.com server-side API is implemented using Go.
Picking A Graph Database: ArangoDB, Neo4j, or OrientDB
TL;DR
– Spoiler alert! Graph databases are a great option for storing complex and highly connected data.
– In this post, I compare the benefits and risks of graph databases ArangoDB, Neo4j, and OrientDB for a client project.
– Due to the combination of performance and cost, I chose ArangoDB for my client’s needs.
Cross-Platform Mobile App with Xamarin
A team of Keyhole Software consultants worked extensively on multiple mobile-related projects for one of the largest theater chains in the world.
The team worked to develop significant enhancements to a cross-platform mobile application, and they assisted with multiple other ongoing mobile and web initiatives as well. For example, they were involved in designing a subscription-based offering for the client’s consumers.
Additionally, the team made improvements on a Web API service used by the client’s mobile applications to communicate with the company’s common API. The team also migrated this Web API from ASP.NET MVC 5 to ASP.NET Core 2.2.
