.NET Core 3.0 - HTTP/2 support

You maybe think this is a bad title for this blog post? HTTP/2 support was already available for .NET Core 3.0. So why a blog post with the release of .NET Core 3.0?

The reason is that although it was possible to host an ASP.NET Core 2.0 application behind an HTTP/2 endpoint, the HttpClient class didn’t had support for it!

There are 2 ways that can be used to enable HTTP/2:

Enable HTTP/2 at the instance level

To enable HTTP/2 support at the instance level, you can set the DefaultRequestVersion when creating the HttpClient instance:

For example, the following code creates an HttpClient instance using HTTP/2 as its default protocol:

Of course even better is to use the HttpClientFactory to create and configure the HttpClient:

Enable HTTP/2 at the request level

It is also possible to create a single request using the HTTP/2 protocol:

Remark: Remember that HTTP/2 needs to be supported by both the server and the client. If either party doesn't support HTTP/2, both will use HTTP/1.1.

.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...
