MassTransit–Quorum queues

Mirrored queues have been a feature in RabbitMQ for quite some time. When using mirrored queues messages are replicated across multiple nodes providing high availability in a RabbitMQ cluster. Each mirrored queue has a master and one or more mirrors, and messages are replicated from the master to its mirrors.

Mirrored Queues operate on synchronous replication, meaning that the master node waits for at least one mirror to acknowledge the receipt of a message before considering it successfully delivered. This impacts performance and can result in throughput issues due to the synchronous nature of replication.

Certain failure scenarios can result in mirrored queues confirming messages too early, potentially resulting in a data loss.

Quorum queues

Quorum Queues are a more recent addition to RabbitMQ, introduced to address some of the limitations posed by Mirrored Queues. They use a different replication model based on the Raft consensus algorithm. In this model, each queue is replicated across multiple nodes, and the consensus algorithm ensures that the data is consistent and available even if some nodes fail.

By default MassTransit automatically creates a queue for you. If you want to use a quorum queue you can use the following code to do this for a specific queue:

Or use the configuration callback if you want to apply this for all queues:

Podman– Command execution failed with exit code 125

After updating WSL on one of the developer machines, Podman failed to work. When we took a look through Podman Desktop, we noticed that Podman had stopped running and returned the following error message: Error: Command execution failed with exit code 125 Here are the steps we tried to fix the issue: We started by running podman info to get some extra details on what could be wrong: >podman info OS: windows/amd64 provider: wsl version: 5.3.1 Cannot connect to Podman. Please verify your connection to the Linux system using `podman system connection list`, or try `podman machine init` and `podman machine start` to manage a new Linux VM Error: unable to connect to Podman socket: failed to connect: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:2655: connectex: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. That makes sense as the podman VM was not running. Let’s check the VM: >podman machine list NAME         ...

Cleaner switch expressions with pattern matching in C#

Ever find yourself mapping multiple string values to the same result? Being a C# developer for a long time, I sometimes forget that the C# has evolved so I still dare to chain case labels or reach for a dictionary. Of course with pattern matching this is no longer necessary. With pattern matching, you can express things inline, declaratively, and with zero repetition. A small example I was working on a small script that should invoke different actions depending on the environment. As our developers were using different variations for the same environment e.g.  "tst" alongside "test" , "prd" alongside "prod" .  We asked to streamline this a long time ago, but as these things happen, we still see variations in the wild. This brought me to the following code that is a perfect example for pattern matching: The or keyword here is a logical pattern combinator , not a boolean operator. It matches if either of the specified pattern...
