GraphQL.NET– Error when upgrading to .NET Core 3.1

After upgrading a .NET Core application to .NET Core 3.1, my GraphQL endpoint started to fail with the following error message:

System.InvalidOperationException: Synchronous operations are disallowed. Call ReadAsync or set AllowSynchronousIO to true instead.

To fix it you can apply the suggestion as described in the error message:

But there is a good reason why Microsoft changed the default behavior in .NET Core 3.0 and disabled synchronous IO. It can be a source of thread starvation and application hangs.

The GraphQL.NET team is working on a new 3.0 release specifically created for .NET Core 3.0 but this is still in preview.

You can get the latest pre-release packages from the MyGet feed, where you may want to explicitly pull a certain version using -v.

dotnet add package GraphQL.SystemTextJson -v 3.0.0-preview-1448

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...
