I’ve been meaning to write about a real cloud based project for some time but the criteria a good candidate project needs to fit are challenging: Significant enough to illustrate numerous design and implementation decisions Not so large that the time investment for a reader to get into it is prohibitive I need to own,…
Microsoft announced the long awaited SPA hosting support for Azure yesterday. Before rushing in and adopting it make sure to read the small print – there is no support for custom domain names and SSL. Which given SSL is becoming almost mandatory (and about to become super-prominent as a warning in Chrome) makes it pretty…
I’ve dipped in and out of Azure AD B2C since it first launched. In theory it provides a flexible and fully managed consumer identity provider inside Azure and while I’ve had a couple of successes after recent experiences I’ve come to the conclusion that its simply not ready for anything other than narrow requirements and…
Azure AD B2C is Microsoft’s identity provider for social and enterprise logins allowing you to, for example, unify the login process across Twitter, Facebook, and Azure AD / Office 365. It comes with a generous free tier and following that pricing is reasonable particularly compared to the pricing for “enterprise” logins with some of the…
I’ve had a lot of success with Azure Cosmos DB and have regularly tweeted about how “it does what it says on the tin” – and while the Graph support has been a bit of a bumpy .NET developer experience other than that it, so far (admittedly at limited volume in real world scenarios), looks…
I think the most generous thing you could say about 2020 is that it was strange – nevertheless there have been some highs and lows and so, in true narcissistic fashion, are some of my personal high lights and low lights as a middle aged grumpy bastard working in tech. F# A real highlight for…
So I’m going to prefix this with a warning – I doubt this is officially supported but at a basic level it does seem to work. I would use at your peril and I’m writing this in the hope that it makes for a useful starting point discussion with the App Service team. I was…
There are a lot of improvements coming in v4 of Function Monkey and the beta is currently available on NuGet. As the full release approaches I thought it would make sense to introduce some of these new capabilities here. In order to simplyify Azure Functions development Function Monkey makes heavy use of commanding via a…
Over the last couple of weeks I’ve been working on adapting Function Monkey so that it feels natural to work with in F#. The driver for this is that I find myself writing more and more F# and want to develop the backend for a new app in it and run it on Azure Functions….
I’ve been so busy the last few months that finding time to write technical articles has been difficult and I’ve not even managed to cover Function Monkey – the framework I put together for, according to its own strapline, writing testable more elegant Azure Functions with less boilerplate, more consistency, and support for REST APIs…
