How does our frontend architecture change when moving from Redux to lightweight stores like the Signal Store? Answer in my yesterday's presentation at @WeAreDevs in Berlin. Slides and examples below 👇

I really appreciate the concept of Worker Threads in Node.js as an elegant solution for offloading CPU-bound tasks. This approach looks easier to implement, compared to building a full-fledged message queue system just for simple tasks. If and when applications become more complex, or if memory serialization issues arise, it should be easy to refactor and implement a proper message queue. This flexibility makes Worker Threads an attractive option for developers looking to optimize performance without overcomplicating their architecture.

🚀 Exploring the Sidecar Pattern in .NET Core! 🛠️ Let's dive into the fascinating world of architectural patterns! Today, we're spotlighting the Sidecar Pattern and its role in enhancing application scalability and resilience. 💡 🔍 What's the Sidecar Pattern? The Sidecar Pattern is a popular microservices architectural pattern where additional processes (sidecars) run alongside the main application container, providing additional functionalities such as logging, monitoring, and service discovery. This pattern promotes modularity, allowing developers to easily add or remove functionalities without altering the core application. 🔧 Implementing Sidecar in .NET Core: In a .NET Core environment, implementing the Sidecar Pattern involves creating separate containers for each additional process. For instance, you can have a sidecar container for logging using tools like Serilog or NLog, another for monitoring with Prometheus, and so on. These sidecar containers communicate with the main application container via inter-process communication mechanisms like HTTP, gRPC, or shared volumes. 🌟 Benefits of Sidecar Pattern: 1️⃣ Enhanced Scalability: Sidecars enable independent scaling of individual functionalities, allowing you to scale logging, monitoring, or other services based on demand without affecting the main application. 2️⃣ Improved Resilience: Isolating additional functionalities in separate containers enhances fault isolation, ensuring that failures in one component do not impact the overall system. 3️⃣ Modular Architecture: Sidecar pattern promotes a modular architecture, making it easier to add or update functionalities without tightly coupling them with the main application. 🛠️ Getting Started: To incorporate the Sidecar Pattern into your .NET Core applications, start by identifying the additional functionalities (logging, monitoring, etc.) that can be externalized into sidecar containers. Then, design your architecture to facilitate communication between the main application container and sidecar containers effectively. #DotNet #Microservices #ArchitecturalPatterns #SidecarPattern

Unveiling the Efficiency of Node.js's Single-Threaded Architecture In the landscape of server-side development, Node.js distinguishes itself with a counterintuitive yet remarkably efficient approach: a single-threaded, event-driven architecture. This design paradigm, diverging from conventional multi-threaded environments, is pivotal for Node.js’s adeptness at managing numerous concurrent connections with minimal resource overhead. Core Principles: - Event Loop: The linchpin of Node.js, facilitating concurrent operations on a single thread, thereby eschewing the resource demands typical of multi-threaded processing. - Non-Blocking I/O: Node.js excels in asynchronous I/O operations, allowing the event loop to process new requests while previous ones complete in the background, enhancing throughput and reducing latency. - Scalability and Resource Efficiency: The architecture’s minimalistic approach to resource utilization enables Node.js applications to achieve remarkable scalability, particularly beneficial in microservices architectures and high-demand environments. Addressing the Challenges: While Node.js’s model excels in I/O-bound tasks, CPU-intensive operations present potential bottlenecks. Through strategic use of the `cluster` module and `worker_threads`, Node.js extends its scalability, harnessing multi-core processors to maintain high performance and responsiveness. Node.js’s innovative single-threaded model redefines efficiency in web server and real-time application development, underlining the value of unconventional thinking in technological advancements. #nodejs #webdevelopment #technologyinnovation #eventdrivenarchitecture #softwareengineering

Angular enables the development of responsive applications with its robust framework, offering features like two-way data binding, modular architecture, and dependency injection. It facilitates the creation of dynamic and scalable web applications with a smooth user experience.

Hi there!!! #Angular tip of the day 📣 Worried about ensuring module boundaries in your large Angular project? Nx's 'Enforce Module Boundaries' rule has you covered! Nx provides a powerful linting rule that allows you to enforce module boundaries within your workspace. This ensures that your applications and libraries only depend on allowed modules, preventing unwanted dependencies and keeping your architecture clean and maintainable. Keep your codebase modular and well-structured with Nx's enforce module boundaries rule! 🚀 I Hope you enjoyed this small daily tip!!🚀 Let me hear your thoughts. If you want to learn more about this subject. Check out my Modern Large-scale Angular enterprise Architecture course and learn to scale massive code-bases until infinity!🤓

The Lies We Tell Ourselves. Senthu Sivasambu embarks on a quest to uncover an objective characterization of monolithic software, revealing the superficial facade of monolithic and microservice architectural styles in this enlightening article. He leverages a unique analogy to present the findings. 💡 "Pagodas will always be pagodas" . No surface-level distinctions here—just a fresh perspective. #microservices #monolithics

Hello, this my new video: Angular Clean Architecture Part 3 - Models, Types, Interfaces & Enums. In this video, I will continue to present my vision of Angular's clear structure and will talk about representing business object data models with types, exposing component interfaces and using enums.

If I'm building a new .NET application, I use Minimal APIs. They're simpler, fit nicely with vertical slices, and they're faster. I like to view each Minimal API endpoint as a standalone component. So, I create a simple mechanism for registering endpoints: - Define an endpoint abstraction - Implement the endpoint class and map it - Register all implementations as services - Map all the endpoints when the application starts If you're using Minimal APIs, I think you will find this helpful. Here's a step-by-step guide: https://lnkd.in/e-BZpKjm What do you think about Minimal APIs? --- Simplify your development process with my free Clean Architecture template.
