Using System.Diagnostic.DiagnosticSource to intercept database requests– Improvements

Yesterday I blogged about the usage of DiagnosticSource to capture database specific events. The code we ended up with looked like this:

What is rather unfortunate is that you are working with generic events and that you need to use magic strings and reflection to capture the object data:

A solution exists through the usage of the Microsoft.Extensions.DiagnosticAdapter package. This Nuget package will use code generation to avoid the cost of reflection.

dotnet add package Microsoft.Extensions.DiagnosticAdapter

  • Update the implementation to use the SubscribeWithAdapter extension method:
  • Now we no longer need to implement the IObserver<KeyValuePair<string, object>> interface. Instead, for each event that we want to handle, we need to declare a separate method, marking it with an attribute DiagnosticNameAttribute. The parameters of these methods are the parameters of the event being processed:

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
