What is Red Hat OpenShift?
OpenShift is Kubernetes, but it is also more than Kubernetes it is a collection of other software services that gives you the ability to run an entire Kubernetes environment, which includes:

Continue reading Hosted Background timer taskA little hidden gem within .Net Core is the ability to run a Hosted Service inside the application. This allows for your service to run in a different thread to the main application, but keeps everything together though the need to host a separate service.

The idea is to use Enum.GetValues() method to get an array of the values of the constants in the enum. To get an IEnumerable<T> of all the values in the enum, call Cast<T>() on the array. To get a list, call ToList() after casting.
The fastest way to perform a SQL record count is:
DECLARE @TableName sysname
SET @TableName = 'Log'
SELECT TBL.object_id, TBL.name, SUM(PART.rows) AS rows
FROM sys.tables TBL
INNER JOIN sys.partitions PART ON TBL.object_id = PART.object_id
INNER JOIN sys.indexes IDX ON PART.object_id = IDX.object_id
AND PART.index_id = IDX.index_id
WHERE TBL.name = @TableName
AND IDX.index_id < 2
GROUP BY TBL.object_id, TBL.name;
I love this smart template generator, saves so much time and effort.
Generates a unit test boilerplate from a given C# class, setting up mocks for all dependencies. Right click an item in Solution Explorer and choose “Create Unit Test Boilerplate” . Supports Visual Studio Test, NUnit, xUnit and many mock frameworks.

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
