Using IAsyncEnumerable with Dapper

When using IEnumerable in asynchronous context, you could not await it. With the introduction of IAsyncEnumerable it becomes possible to asynchronously iterate over a sequence of elements. It allows you to use the await keyword within the loop, which means you can perform asynchronous operations on each element as you iterate over them.

In other words, IAsyncEnumerable provides an asynchronous version of the IEnumerable interface, making it easier to work with asynchronous data streams. You can use it to represent data streams that are produced asynchronously, such as a stream of data received over a network or a series of results returned from an asynchronous database query.

I was wondering if I could use this interface with Dapper, the open source micro-ORM for .NET. It turned out that there was no IAsyncEnumerable  support available out-of-the-box but maybe we could (easily) add it ourselves?

I created the following extension method:

Here is an example on how to use it:

Don’t know if this is a foolproof implementation but maybe it can help you…

.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...
