[Post Event] Microsoft Summit 2014, Bucharest, Romania, 12-13 November

This week I had the opportunity to participate at Microsoft Summit, which was held in Bucharest. This was the second edition of this event and more than 1500 IT specialist participate to this event. We could say that for two days, Bucharest was center of Microsoft technologies and IT trends.
There were a lot speakers from all around the world, from USA to Germany or UK. Speakers like Don Grantham or David Chappell were at Microsoft Summit. From my opinion, I think that people enjoyed the session hold by D. Chappell, Andy Malone and Paula Januszkiewicz.
There were 6 tracks in parallel, were sessions dedicated to Business Managers, IT Professional and Developers were held. I had the opportunity to present to talk about “The Internet Of Things” and “Microsoft Azure – A place for Dev/Test/Int Environments”. In the first session I talk about Azure and how we can use it to create a bridge between devices and our backend. In the second session I talk about how we can create different environments using Azure. People had the opportunity to discover how easily is to create a new environment on a cloud platform and why web sites and slots are the dream of any web developer.  At the end of session we discover the power of Visual Studio Online.
A special Thank You to Microsoft Romania for this event and for all sponsors and attendees because they are the one that made this event possible.

See you next year!

How to audit an Azure Cosmos DB

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?

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...
