Building an AI Agent in .NET: Deterministic Routing and Intelligent Search with Microsoft Agent Framework

Nowadays wherever I look, everyone talks about AI coding agents, agentic systems or LLM powered applications and so on. It has been almost a year that I have been working on different domains where we integrate LLMs into our applications, as well as getting my…

Overcoming Event Size Limits with the Conditional Claim-Check Pattern in Event-Driven Architectures

In today’s technological age, we typically build our application solutions on event-driven architecture in order to make them as scalable, resilient, and flexible as possible. While event-driven architecture sounds good, it also brings along many complexities and limitations. In my previous articles, I also tried…

Securing the Supply Chain of Containerized Applications to Reduce Security Risks (Policy Enforcement-Automated Governance with OPA Gatekeeper and Ratify) – Part 2

In the first part of the article, we talked the importance of Software Supply Chain security and the measures that can be taken throughout the SDLC processes to mitigate the security risks of containerized applications. In this context, we emphasized the importance of the shifting-left…

Securing the Supply Chain of Containerized Applications to Reduce Security Risks (Security Scanning, SBOMs, Signing&Verifying Artifacts) – Part 1

As we know, the adoption of containerization in modern software development environments has significantly changed the way applications are built and deployed. The lightweight and self-contained nature of containers provides various advantages and flexibilities, such as the ability to easily move applications consistently across different…

Providing Atomicity for Eventual Consistency with Outbox Pattern in .NET Microservices

As we know, adapting to microservice architecture has many benefits, but unfortunately, it also has some challenging points. Especially on the data consistency side. For example, in the monolithic world, we can use ACID database transactions to easily perform multiple operations in a consistent way.…

Building Microservices by Using Dapr and .NET with Minimum Effort – 02 (Azure Container Apps)

In the previous article, we talked about the Dapr project, its benefits and developed two sample microservice with .NET 6 as self-hosted mode in the local environment. (If you haven’t read the first article, you can find it here.) Within the scope of this article,…

Building Microservices by Using Dapr and .NET with Minimum Effort – 01

As we know, technology and our habits are constantly changing day by day. Especially after the pandemic, the trend towards digitalization and technology has increased considerably. Due to these changes, we as developers, also pay attention that the applications we develop are portable and scalable…

High-Performance, Stream-Based Communication Between Services with NET 5 and gRPC

Due to the needs of today’s technology age, we are trying to develop our applications using microservice architecture that met the scale demands. Also about the communication between distributed services, we are performing it with REST (HTTP JSON) approach at many points. In this article,…

ASP.NET Core Series 06: Monitor the Health of Your Applications by Implementing Health Checks and Azure Application Insights

I think the “health of our applications” topic has always been an important and common concern for all of us regardless of the architectural approach. As we know, to make our applications health status visible or to learn it in easy way minimizes the risk…
