Octopus Deploy: Update Variables Without Creating New Release

That might be a new feature or not, maybe I'm just getting surprised by Octopus Deploy over and over again. In all projects I worked on so far, I always created a new release for any changes to variables. This might change. Yesterday I had an awful phone

Serving Angular App From Azure Functions

There must be some very specific scenarios where you would want to serve your Angular app via Azure Functions. To be very honest, I'm not even sure if there's such a scenario yet, but I'm up for the challenge. I'll show you

Why Mono-repo Might Save Our Bacon

When I first heard about Mono-repo from Duncan Hunter, I thought it was an insane idea. And even then I didn't care that much, I guess I had my plate full and didn't really have time to think it through. But I should have actually. We

Swagger All The Way Down - Part 2

In 90% of the cases where you have a microservice architecture, you will need to implement some sort of messaging system for them to communicate between each other and/or let them talk via http requests. Using http requests is definitely the easiest way to get started, but it'

AspNetCore + Angular + SignalR + Typescript = Drinking Game

Getting realtime data from the server to the client has become easier than ever. I wrote a post about a year ago with steps on how to setup SignalR with AspNetCore and then make it work with Angular. But the bandaid I put together at the time looked terrible (using

Building and Publishing Nuget Packages from TeamCity to VSTS

In the current project I'm working on, we have a library that we want to share across other services and these services will be deployed independently. So the best way, in my opnion, to do it is to package this library using nuget and publish to an accessible

My Console Windows Service with .NET Core 2.0

Alright, it seems like over and over again, for one reason or another, we end up creating a Windows service in the projects I work on. And even though I've done it so many time, I still dig into previous projects to refresh my memory and get started.

So Now I Have A Container? What Now?!

This is not the same container 101 talk you've seen a dozen times. The point of this talk is how to ship a container to production, once you've built it. We'll containerize a .net core app, debug locally, set up continuous deployment, set up

Ocelot: Awesome API Gateway

The client I'm currently working is quite strict about what is going to be exposed externally, so basically no database will have external access directly nor any internal services. So because of that, we had to add a gateway layer on top of all their internal services. I&

Octo Pack For The Win

Alright, so my goal was to package my published project in order to push it to Octopus Deploy for it do its magic. It sounds easy, I've done that 100 times before. I can simply bring Octopack to my dotnet core 2.0 project and off I go.

TeamCity: NPM Install When Changes To Package.json

You all should know by now that npm install is something that takes a fair bit of time to run, some would actually say that it downloads the whole internet. It's a very time consuming process even if there's no changes to package.json at all.

2017 Review and 2018 Planning
