NHibernate Mapping-by-code series

With the introduction of NHibernate 3.2, a new mapping feature was introduced: mapping-by-code. Conceptually this is similar to Fluent NHibernate and the Code First mapping in Entity Framework.  I really liked Fluent NHibernate but I had a hard time getting used to the out-of-the-box mapping-by-code feature. It' is not documented at all so I was really happy when I discovered this blog series by Adam Bar. As he says it himself it’s probably the only complete guide to mapping-by-code on the web so far. (I only found the blog of Fabio Maulo as another resource)

Here is the full table of contents of the mapping-by-code series.

  1. First impressions
  2. Naming convention resembling Fluent
  3. Property
  4. Component
  5. ManyToOne
  6. inheritance
  7. dynamic component
  8. Set and Bag
  9. OneToMany and other collection-based relation types
  10. concurrency
  11. OneToOne
  12. Join
  13. Any
  14. List, Array, IdBag
  15. Map
  16. Id, NaturalId
  17. composite identifiers
  18. entity-level mappings

Thanks Adam!

Kubernetes–Limit your environmental impact

Reducing the carbon footprint and CO2 emission of our (cloud) workloads, is a responsibility of all of us. If you are running a Kubernetes cluster, have a look at Kube-Green . kube-green is a simple Kubernetes operator that automatically shuts down (some of) your pods when you don't need them. A single pod produces about 11 Kg CO2eq per year( here the calculation). Reason enough to give it a try! Installing kube-green in your cluster The easiest way to install the operator in your cluster is through kubectl. We first need to install a cert-manager: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager/releases/download/v1.14.5/cert-manager.yaml Remark: Wait a minute before you continue as it can take some time before the cert-manager is up & running inside your cluster. Now we can install the kube-green operator: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kube-green/kube-green/releases/latest/download/kube-green.yaml Now in the namespace where we want t
