Eurelia–The next generation version of Durandal

After leaving the Angular Team, Rob Eisenberg continued his effort in building the greatest next generation JavaScript client framework. Yesterday he finally shared his work with the rest of the world and announced Aurelia.

Here are some of the features as mentioned on the Aurelia website:

  • Forward thinking: Written with ES6 and ES7 but transpiles to today’s browsers
  • Modern architecture: Multiple small replaceable components
  • Two-Way databinding: Performant two-way binding to any object using adaptive techniques
  • Extensible HTML: Read as ‘Angular Directives’ Glimlach
  • Routing & UI Composition: The already great Durandal router on steroids
  • Broad Language Support: Written with TypeScript, AtScript, CoffeeScript,… in mind

As a big fan of Durandal(and Caliburn), I’m really interested in the results. I know what to look into the upcoming weeks…

.NET 8–Keyed/Named Services

A feature that a lot of IoC container libraries support but that was missing in the default DI container provided by Microsoft is the support for Keyed or Named Services. This feature allows you to register the same type multiple times using different names, allowing you to resolve a specific instance based on the circumstances. Although there is some controversy if supporting this feature is a good idea or not, it certainly can be handy. To support this feature a new interface IKeyedServiceProvider got introduced in .NET 8 providing 2 new methods on our ServiceProvider instance: object? GetKeyedService(Type serviceType, object? serviceKey); object GetRequiredKeyedService(Type serviceType, object? serviceKey); To use it, we need to register our service using one of the new extension methods: Resolving the service can be done either through the FromKeyedServices attribute: or by injecting the IKeyedServiceProvider interface and calling the GetRequiredKeyedServic...

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...
