As defined by Polly “A circuit breaker detects the level of faults in calls placed through it, and prevents calls when a configurable fault threshold is exceeded”.
Continue reading Circuit BreakerPolly is classed as a resilience framework. A resilience framework is a set of libraries that help an application to recover from transient or more extended failures in services or infrastructure upon which it depends. When recovery is not possible, the resilience framework will facilitate graceful degradation of your application.
Polly has been around for many years and has been tried and tested in many applications

With Throttling, you can set a delay on calls after an SLA tier has been exceeded, slowing down the number of requests an API client is making.

Continue reading Asynchronous Programming the right wayJSON Web Tokens is an emerging standard. They are very close to their standardisation. IETF has taken care of that, and OpenID connect mandates the use of JSON Web token for all of the tokens that are exchanged in that protocol. this article gives you a little look, an overview of the purpose of security tokens, and, and what other types of tokens we have out there and where, where they are used. Then we have a look at the structure of a JSON Web Token, and then we’ll show you how easy it is to create and consume them using the Microsoft DotNet Core development framework.

It is loosely based on creating a simple REST Client, an tutorial from Microsoft can give you the very basic features in DotNet Core

Using DotNet Core comes some responsibilities, one of those is making sure your application is up and running.
Since DotNet Core 2.2 the introductions of health checks have been established.
There are two types of Health Checks
