Handling Partial Batch Failure When Processing SQS Messages with a Lambda Function
Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS) is a fully managed message queuing service that enables you to decouple and scale microservices, distributed systems, and serverless applications. One common use case for SQS is to process messages from a queue as a batch using a Lambda function. However, in some cases, you may encounter partial batch failure, where some messages in the batch are processed successfully, while others fail. In this case, you need to handle the partial batch failure to ensure that the messages that failed to process are retried, while the messages that succeeded are not processed again.
Create custom project template in Visual Studio
You can create your own custom templates for any type of project, such as an Web, API, Console, or class library.
How to Deserialize DynamoDb stream JSON to Object in .NET Lambda?
Whenever an application creates, updates, or deletes items in the table, DynamoDB Streams writes a stream record with the primary key attributes of the items that were modified. You can configure the stream so that the stream records capture additional information, such as the "before" and "after" images of modified items.
Run .NET Lambda Function Locally Using LocalStack
AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio makes it easier for developers to develop and debug Lambda functions locally but for actual Lambda integration test, we need to deploy Lambda function in AWS account.
Amazon SQS local development using LocalStack
Amazon SQS is a reliable, highly-scalable hosted queue for storing messages as they travel between applications or microservices. Amazon SQS moves data between distributed application components and helps you decouple these components. That means to test your application you will need to connect to the Amazon SQS service each time. For development and testing purposes, you’ll likely want to test locally.
Amazon S3 local development using LocalStack
It's always a good practice, before moving your code into cloud, do integration test from local dev environment. Let's say if you don't have AWS account access from your development machine Or you don't want to create resources in AWS account just for integration testing purpose in that situation LocalStack is best choice.
Reducing complexity and enhance readability of C# unit tests using AutoFixture
Unit tests allows developers to verify their code to make sure that the code works as expected and to identify and fix bugs at early stage. The goal of unit test is to isolate each part of the program and test them individually. When we write Unit Tests for individual code, we mock all external dependencies. The purpose of mocking is to isolate the code being tested without affecting the behavior or state of external dependencies.
API Load Testing using .NET NBomber
NBomber is an open source load testing framework which help .NET developers to load test their applications. NBomber is a lightweight framework for writing load tests which you can use to test literally any system and simulate any production workload. With NBomber you can test any PULL or PUSH system (HTTP, WebSockets, GraphQl, gRPC, SQL Database, MongoDb, Redis etc).
AWS App2Container
In this post, I'll show you the power of AWS App2Container command line tool. With the help of App2Container tool, you can modernize (dockerize) your .NET and Java application and deploy it to AWS ECS/EKS/App Runner.
Running .Net on ESP32 Microcontroller
.Net Core is a cross-platform, fast and lightweight but still, you cannot use it in tiny microcontroller where memory is few kilobytes. Most of the examples are available in C/C++ languages. I'm using .Net and Visual studio since my college time, I don't like to write code in C language, therefore I use MicroPython for embedded device.
