ML.NET is a very powerful yet relatively unknown set of machine learning tools in the .NET ecosystem. It can train many different types of models, ranging from a simple classification to something more advanced, such as product recommendation engines. It even supports deep-learning tasks such as image analysis, object detection, and natural language processing. Yes, […]

When we write software, our goal is not just to solve a specific business problem. We need to do it in a way that won’t make it hard to solve other problems in the future. This is why it’s very important that the code that we write is maintainable. There are many practices that make

In the previous article, I described how I used SignalR to coordinate clusters of Internet of Things (IoT) devices so that only one device in the cluster could do a specific task at a time. The example was based on a real-life project where IoT devices acted as public announcement systems at a railway station. If

If you are a software developer who has worked with .NET, you may have heard of SignalR, a library that allows applications to communicate with each other in real-time over the network. However, not everyone is aware of aware of all the interesting things SignalR is capable of. Many developers I spoke to are only

When you work with distributed applications, you will almost certainly encounter the need to use distributed caching and locking at some point. In this article, you will learn how to apply both of these mechanisms in .NET Aspire. The content of this article is taken from my book, .NET Aspire Made Easy, which is available in

Today, we will talk about integrating our Aspire apps with Azure Storage. We will start by looking at Azure Table Storage and then move on to Blob Storage. A sample of a complete Azure Table Storage application can be found via the following link: https://github.com/fiodarsazanavets/dotnet-aspire-examples/tree/main/AspireStarterProjectWithTableStorage/AspireApp If you are new to Azure Storage, here is a

Today, you will learn how to integrate your distributed .NET Aspire application with MongoDB by using Aspire Components. We will walk through an example application that populates a MongoDB instance with some data and retrieves the data inside one of the hosted services. But before we talk about it, I’ll need to make an announcement. My

We previously looked at Aspire components, special libraries used by .NET Aspire to wrap commonly used applications and infrastructure components. These libraries consist of containers, but it’s simpler to use them instead of using containers directly. After all, Aspie components were specifically designed to work in Aspire. Today, we will look at the components that represent

In the previous article, we discussed enabling single sign-on authentication in .NET Aspire. Today, you will learn how to do it using a Keycloak container. The material presented in this article serves two purposes: The sample solution we will be talking about is available here. In order to be able to follow this article, you would need
