MassTransit–Disable fault publishing

By default when a message consumer in MassTransit throws an exception, the exception is caught by middleware in the transport (the ErrorTransportFilter to be exact), and the message is moved to an _error queue (prefixed by the receive endpoint queue name).

The exception details are stored as headers with the message for analysis and to assist in troubleshooting the exception.

Next to moving the message to an error, MassTransit also produces a Fault<T> event. If the message headers specify a FaultAddress, the fault is sent directly to that address. If the FaultAddress is not present, but a ResponseAddress is specified, the fault is sent to the response address. Otherwise, the fault is published, giving you the option to consume these fault messages if you want to:

However this can lead to a lot of extra exchanges that could be created. 

If you don’t want to publish a Fault event, you can do this by setting the PublishFaults property to false in your MassTransit configuration:

.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...
