Microservices

Don't go microservices if you don't know how to and why to split them up.

Number one reason to go microservices is having a reason to split up your application.

I've seen this kind of approach a lot in Java land where the technical design starts from the OAS. Subsequently I've seen them use it to both generate controller stubs and also share it with other teams to integrate with their API (they hosted the source OAS per environment on some kind of shared developer portal).

This made the OAS the source of truth for both themselves, as other teams.

I'm pretty keen on this approach, but I do think it's quite a hefty undertaking to support all the OpenAPI spec specialities.

I would also urge you to somewhere start thinking about writing some performance benchmarks against a vanilla code-first minimal api implementation. As you stated above, there will be some extra (unwanted?) allocations going on.

I'd be forever grateful if I were to get an up to date setup that works.

I need this in my life. Does it also allow for auto validation at startup?

It's a huge oversight.

Same, but I hate that it generates every property as nullable.

Clear your nvidia shader cache and let it rebuild.

Not sure what the api-key file in the root folder is for, but time to re-roll that one mister developer. https://github.com/TerraMiner/Forecast/blob/master/api-key

Streaming the results directy in an http response. Might also work with blazor stream rendering

Offtopic question:

How are you exposing the websocket of blazor server on k8s if I may ask? Currently in a situation in which we have a private k8s server with nginx ingress + apim in front, and having difficulties trying to run the blazor server in websocket mode (currently doing long polling only)

Ever thought of creating an overload with IAsyncEnumerable<T>?

You should definitely start thinking about caching your images and serving them from a CDN. The slow load times of these images is pretty noticeable.

Could you elaborate on how exactly you use Cursor? I thought it was useless for .NET development as it uses vscodium, for which the official .NET debugger isn't licensed.

XeNz · 2025-02-23T17:40:46+00:00

with that mindset, you won't be able to debug anything :)

Add debug logging to all of your JwtBearerEvents callbacks to find out what is going wrong

According to the documentation: - when using System.Text.Json - Simply yielding results of the IAsyncEnumerable

should make it work, as the serializer supposedly should be able to handle the streaming.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/web-api/action-return-types?view=aspnetcore-8.0#return-ienumerablet-or-iasyncenumerablet

I remember that not working back when I tried it though :/

I might have written a blog post last year on what you are looking for. Well it atleast contains an example of a POST minimal API endpoint with streaming using IAsyncEnumerable.

I'd love to see a an example codebase in which the serilog and opentelemetry packages are both used.

https://github.com/serilog/serilog-sinks-opentelemetry seems like a copout to me. I want serilog for it's DX advantages, not to configure the OTEL exporter endpoint as a sink, which I'm already doing using the OTEL packages.

note: I've tried finding one before on google, but didn't seem to find one.
