[PostEvent] MSSummit 2013, Bucharest

By
WOW Why? Because last two days (6-7 November 2013) I had the opportunity to participate at MSSummit 2013, that was held in Bucharest. It was one of the biggest IT event organized in Romania this year.
There were more than 1000 people, 5 simultaneous tracks and more than 45 speakers. It’s been a while since I’ve seen such an event in Romania. I was impressed about the event itself, location and the number of people.
The session list was extremely interesting, we had session held by David Chappell, Chris Capossela, Michael Palermo and so on. All the sessions were great, we had the opportunity to learn and discover new stuff. After this event we could say that Microsoft is full of surprising things (in the good way).
At this event I was invited as a speaker and I held two sessions where I talked about how we can write and load tests using Visual Studio 2013 and Windows Azure. In the second session I talked about fluent communication between client – server – client using SignalR.
Special thanks for the attendees that stayed until 18:30 in the last day of the event.
I hope that next year Microsoft Romania will organize another MSSummit. This is a great conference that can grow and become very big and powerful.
In this following picture I’m with my colleagues from iQuest Group.

How to audit an Azure Cosmos DB

By
In this post, we will talk about how we can audit an Azure Cosmos DB database. Before jumping into the problem let us define the business requirement: As an Administrator I want to be able to audit all changes that were done to specific collection inside my Azure Cosmos DB. The requirement is simple, but can be a little tricky to implement fully. First of all when you are using Azure Cosmos DB or any other storage solution there are 99% odds that you’ll have more than one system that writes data to it. This means that you have or not have control on the systems that are doing any create/update/delete operations. Solution 1: Diagnostic Logs Cosmos DB allows us activate diagnostics logs and stream the output a storage account for achieving to other systems like Event Hub or Log Analytics. This would allow us to have information related to who, when, what, response code and how the access operation to our Cosmos DB was done. Beside this there is a field that specifies what was th...

Can User Technical Profile Influence AI Architecture Decisions?

By
In the last few days, I ran a small experiment on Devin/Windsurf/Cascade, BMAD, and LLM-based architecture decisions. The initial concern was simple: if an AI coding assistant knows something about the user, for example, that the user is a Java developer or a .NET developer, can this information influence the architecture and technology stack that the AI will propose? This question is important because many companies are starting to use AI tools not only for coding but also for product discovery, architecture, documentation, and technical decision-making. If the AI is influenced by the developer's personal profile, the result may not be fully neutral. It may look like a business or architecture decision, but in reality, it may be partially shaped by the context of the person using the tool. The test was done using BMAD with Devin/Windsurf/Cascade. The scenario was a unified field service operations platform. The task was to let BMAD refine the product, define the architecture and s...

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...
