[PostEvent] ITCamp 2014, Cluj-Napoca

By
Last week, Cluj-Napoca hosted the 4th edition of ITCamp. More than 400 people participate to this premium conference. During the two days of the event, more than 30 speakers talked about Microsoft Stack, Architecture, Cloud, Development methodology and many more. For this two days we could say that Cluj-Napoca was the center of IT from Romania.
This was the first year when we had 4 tracks in parallel and there were moments where it was pretty hard to decide at which session to attend. Session like “Management of Fear”, “30 Tools for Modern .NET Web Development in 60 minutes”, “Code Quality through Application Software Infrastructure” or “The Battle for Success” made waves between attendees.
Special thanks to the core organization team (Mihai Tataran and Tudy-Tudor Damian). You made a great job this year. There were a lot of sponsors that sustained this event. I’m proud that iQuest was one of the Platinum sponsors.
This year I had the opportunity to do a workshop dedicate to Agile, oriented to practice. The main purpose of it was to see how we can resolve different issues that can appear in a team or company using Agile methodology (if is possible). Also, in the first day of the event I had a session related to redundancy over Microsoft Azure - Database and Public Endpoints redundancy on Azure. Even if we are on a cloud platform, we need to think on different solutions that would offer us redundancy and failover mechanism. Cloud is not managed by God.
ITCamp 2014 Summary: 400+ people, 34 speakers, 2 days, 4 workshops, 4 tracks, 28 sponsors, 6 media partners and a lot of good sessions.
See you next year!

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...

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...
