[Post Event] Web Stories Medellin, July 2020

A few days ago I had the amazing opportunity to deliver a technical session to the IT community from Medellin. It was my second time when I deliver a session to Medellin. In comparison with the session from last year, this time it was remotely because flying is not an option nowadays. Image

I talked about microservices, the future of serverless and microservices and what are the mistakes that people are doing when they start to use microservices. If you want to check my session you can find the details below.

Title:  The microservices confusion 
Abstract: Nowdays, every new project that we start is around microservices. You cannot build anymore a simple solution that goes in production in 2 week time. Many times we grow the project complexity because of the current IT trends without thinking about what we need. The focus of the session is around microservices and what is the impact of it during development, automation and operation phase. The purpose is to identify the balance between the size, number and complexity of the services taking into account the delivery time and budget, especially during the first iterations.

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

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

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
