Some time ago, I had this really interesting idea, how awesome would it be to use MediatR in functions. I played a bit around, got to the point where I got it to work, but to be honest it felt really really clumsy and awkward, so I kind of let it go. But recently, with… Continue reading Azure Functions and the mediator pattern (using MediatR)
This is part of a mini-series where we want to build low code product on the shoulders of azure durable functions: Build dynamic workflows with azure durable functions (NoCode style) - Part 1Build dynamic workflows with azure durable functions (Low-Code style) - Part 2 Add branching logic to your dynamic workflows with azure durable functions -… Continue reading Build dynamic workflows with azure durable functions – Branching logic (part 3)
As you might have noticed recently, I am in a more "meta" programing mood, to be honest, lately I played a lot with Blazor building some wacky things, and more or less I arrived at the following problem, how can we build a dynamic parameter for a list.Where(item => ??) type clause. Why you ask… Continue reading Build dynamic Linq filters (aka. where() predicates)

In the last article you saw how to add feature flags to your azure function application. There was just one simple dummy example on how to use feature flags, in this article we are going to look at a few ways where the feature flags might bring you value. So without spending to much precious… Continue reading 4 ways of using Feature Flags like you actually know what you’re doing!
Well, well, well, you are looking to up your game! Then let's do this. Let's discuss feature flags, but first what are feature flags ? Well, feature flags are a technique which enables you to be able to influence how your application works actually touching the code, but don't take my word for it, check… Continue reading Using feature flags in Azure Function and Durable Functions with Azure App Configuration
In this article we will look into writing unit tests for Orchestrator functions using xUnit and Moq. We will write tests for a mildly complex orchestrator with branching logic. So, unit testing... Before we start, I have to admin, I for one, am not a very big fan of unit testing, I mean, I strive… Continue reading Writing unit tests for orchestration functions in Azure Durable Functions
In this article, we will be implementing an "orchestrated" flow, or interaction if you will, as discussed in the previous article. So, this will be quite a technical and a lengthy post, so better get your coffee refill before we start. What can you see in this article: Using an HTTP client for communication between… Continue reading Serverless Microservices: Building an orchestrated workflow with Azure Durable functions
Well, in the last article, we built a serverless microservice. But one microservice on its own doesn't do much "by design". In this post, we will start accelerating our microservice game, by adding a "simple" requirement that will shape our system. The game plan Well, looking ahead we will be building some new microservices, also… Continue reading Building Serverless Microservices – Picking the right design
