Cloudbrew 2023–Azure Static Web Apps

Yesterday I had the honor to speak at CloudBrew, a 2 day conference organized by AZUG, the Belgium Microsoft Azure User Group. Last year I talked about Azure Application Insights, this year I did a presentation about Azure Static Web Apps.

Again it was a really fun experience with great sessions, nice people, and the Gouden Carolus Triple at the end makes it perfect. I’m already looking forward to next year…

Azure Static Web Apps – Too good to be true?

As a lot of people are still unaware about Azure Static Web Apps(SWA) and the great things it had to offer, I decided to change this and brought a presentation sharing all the great things it had to offer.

Discover the power of Azure Static Web Apps in this session, where we'll explore how it simplifies web development. Learn how to seamlessly integrate static front-end frameworks with serverless back-end APIs powered by Azure Functions. Explore features like effortless deployment, serverless back-end integration, custom domains and SSL certificates, authentication and authorization, and streamlined CI/CD workflows. Witness practical examples and gain hands-on guidance to leverage Azure Static Web Apps effectively. Join us on this journey toward building scalable, secure, and globally accessible applications with ease.

And my SWA merchandise website(an adaption of the John Papa’s Shop-at-Home demo) can be found here: wullemsb/shopathome: Choose from Angular, React, Svelte, and Vue applications with an Azure Functions API, that deploys to Azure Static Web Apps (github.com).

.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...
