Why and Where for MongoDB, Cassandra, CouchDB, HBase, Membase, Redis

By
More and more people are starting to use NoSQL. I think this is extremely good. NoSQL can make our life better in a lot of situations. In this post I will try make a list of current NoSQL solutions that exist on the market and when we should use each other.

MongoDB
Why
  • Dynamic query
  • Content is stored as documents
  • Big database that need to be very fast
Where
  • Properties are stored like query and index
  • Can be used for voting system, CMS or comment storage

Cassandra
Why
  • When you make a lot of updates and insert
  • Reading data is not the main scope of the database (writes are faster than reads)
  • Content is stored as column
  • High availability
Where
  • Can be used with success for logging
  • Financial industry or any place where we work with a lot of data that is needed to be written
  • Basket of an e-commerce application


CouchDB
Why
  • For data that don’t change very often (insert and read and NOT update)
  • We have a lot of predefined queries and we need versioning support
Where
  • Is a great database for CMS and CRM.

HBase
Why
  • When you do data analyzing
Where
  • Works great in combination with Hadoop

Membase
Why
  • When we need high concurrency
  • When the latency is very low and we want the latency to be minimal
Where
  • Backend of a game or a system that offer data in real time

Redis
Why
  • When we need to make a lot of updates
  • When the database is not too big and can be kept in memory
Where
  • Can be used when we have a real time communication, for example a stock market with prices
If you know other NoSQL solutions or other strong points for this frameworks, please tell me.

Windows Docker Containers can make WIN32 API calls, use COM and ASP.NET WebForms

By
After the last post , I received two interesting questions related to Docker and Windows. People were interested if we do Win32 API calls from a Docker container and if there is support for COM. WIN32 Support To test calls to WIN32 API, let’s try to populate SYSTEM_INFO class. [StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)] public struct SYSTEM_INFO { public uint dwOemId; public uint dwPageSize; public uint lpMinimumApplicationAddress; public uint lpMaximumApplicationAddress; public uint dwActiveProcessorMask; public uint dwNumberOfProcessors; public uint dwProcessorType; public uint dwAllocationGranularity; public uint dwProcessorLevel; public uint dwProcessorRevision; } ... [DllImport("kernel32")] static extern void GetSystemInfo(ref SYSTEM_INFO pSI); ... SYSTEM_INFO pSI = new SYSTEM_INFO(

Azure AD and AWS Cognito side-by-side

By
In the last few weeks, I was involved in multiple opportunities on Microsoft Azure and Amazon, where we had to analyse AWS Cognito, Azure AD and other solutions that are available on the market. I decided to consolidate in one post all features and differences that I identified for both of them that we should need to take into account. Take into account that Azure AD is an identity and access management services well integrated with Microsoft stack. In comparison, AWS Cognito is just a user sign-up, sign-in and access control and nothing more. The focus is not on the main features, is more on small things that can make a difference when you want to decide where we want to store and manage our users.  This information might be useful in the future when we need to decide where we want to keep and manage our users.  Feature Azure AD (B2C, B2C) AWS Cognito Access token lifetime Default 1h – the value is configurable 1h – cannot be modified

ADO.NET provider with invariant name 'System.Data.SqlClient' could not be loaded

By
Today blog post will be started with the following error when running DB tests on the CI machine: threw exception: System.InvalidOperationException: The Entity Framework provider type 'System.Data.Entity.SqlServer.SqlProviderServices, EntityFramework.SqlServer' registered in the application config file for the ADO.NET provider with invariant name 'System.Data.SqlClient' could not be loaded. Make sure that the assembly-qualified name is used and that the assembly is available to the running application. See http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=260882 for more information. at System.Data.Entity.Infrastructure.DependencyResolution.ProviderServicesFactory.GetInstance(String providerTypeName, String providerInvariantName) This error happened only on the Continuous Integration machine. On the devs machines, everything has fine. The classic problem – on my machine it’s working. The CI has the following configuration: TeamCity .NET 4.51 EF 6.0.2 VS2013 It see
