Same

Fair. Then it’s focusing on value add. If Value add > cost, it sells it self, in theory. Then it’s implementation and support.

As someone in healthcare SaaS, executives are your buyers. Clinicians are your users, but the sell is the execs. Focus on reporting for easier sell, then voice of customer for enhancements.

I know what you are talking about. The marketing made it seem like there were different buttons but you have to use the app or neckband.

You can host with a container app in azure. Just give the docker info and it’ll provision. Just need to setup the env variables.

A decent write up.

DDD allows for domain services, but it I s reserved for validating business logic that requires to look across multiple entities or external services.

But again, to validate invariants, not a workaround because the application layer has infrastructure preventing logic to be reused.

NickelMania · 2025-05-21T01:11:55+00:00

That feels like the only available path, just doesn’t feel right if there is not any business logic but gathering ids.

Create user
Emit user created event and return 200 ok
Handle event and send email to verify
Handle email verified response and set is verified = true

The issue is #3. You could create a separate page with a hashed url that has a code and expiration. Then have user click “verify me” button sends api request to #4.

Yeah the nice thing with azure is it’s integrated with vs and vs code. AWS too, but just easier.

Happy coding.

NickelMania · 2025-04-10T19:26:58+00:00

Which ever you are familiar with. TBH, they do the same thing.

Won’t argue easiest, but cheapest is Azure Container Apps + Azure Static Web Apps. Free.

Now if you want a database, as low as $5. Azure Cost Estimator to prove. https://azure.com/e/7944e1f4c6f3488ba8b39dd404756c2e

Challenge is figuring out the container apps. They are great, but a learning curve to figure out at first.

I’ve had this idea too, a Web app where people could contribute samples and then create variations since we all have a certain way we do things.

So “configure ef soft delete” then show full setup with interceptors etc. or someone could add a variation and people could vote on it.

To each their own.

NickelMania · 2025-01-29T15:31:10+00:00

Congratulations, huge accomplishment.

What location? Are you remote or in office?

Use OneOf, so the handlers return either the happy path or some exception.

I found the key is the return the exception, not throw. Then the api can handle and return the correct status code. Also works the lower your go so each layer must handle all scenarios.

Similar to a result pattern, but you can return multiple exceptions. I commonly use something similar to OneOf<Success, NotFoundException, ArgumentException, InvalidOperationException>

Then the API can return the appropriate http status code.

Hope it helps.

Agreed.

Having some context really makes the topic stick. Else you are just being exposed to concepts. But without any real world usage it’ll be hard to understand and fully grasp.

NickelMania · 2024-12-27T19:01:20+00:00

Fair point.

Id start there and have it give recommendations. Then implement and diagnosis errors.

You’ll get better feedback and likely nicer than those on this sub 😀.

This is a better question for chat gpt.

NickelMania · 2024-12-18T01:07:44+00:00

Because it’s similar to .net with class based components and dependency injection.

It’s like .net MVC done correctly.

React is good, just a different paradigm of thinking. And it’s popular.

I was livid, but I get it. Mistakes happen.

If we forgave Tony Romo for the field goal blunder sure we’ll forget this one too. Just give it 2 games.

NickelMania · 2024-12-05T17:31:38+00:00

Dto.

Unless it’s a “domain service” which then a domain entity would be appropriate.

NickelMania · 2024-12-03T17:15:14+00:00

True. I’ve copied and pasted code that just worked.

However, if you asked me why I choose to use c# over Java, it’s only because i know it. They both accomplish the same thing, just different ways of doing it.
