Application Infrastructure for Clean Architecture

When projects fail, uncontrolled complexity is often the cause—where architecture stays on paper, not in code. This webinar shows how to build an Application Infrastructure that enforces Clean Architecture and achieves predictability through code structure, not just discipline or reviews.

Implementing Clean Architecture @DevTalks

In this session, I’ll show how to achieve predictability with Clean Architecture through structure, rather than relying solely on discipline and code reviews. I’ll demonstrate how to create a structure that makes it easy to follow your architecture and hard to deviate from it.

Migrate to Ghost 1.x on Azure

You might remember that I am running this blog on Ghost self hosted on Azure. I wrote about how I've migrated from Wordpress in an older post. Now, I migrated to Ghost 1.x, and in the process I configured a better dev environment for my theme and auto deployment to an App Service from GitHub

Decide between In-Process or Inter-Process Communication at Deploy Time - Part 3

This is the last post from the series on how we could implement a design that allows to decide only at deploy time how two services communicate: in process if they are deployed on the same server or inter-process if they are on different machines. The first post shows where

Decide between In-Process or Inter-Process Communication at Deploy Time - Part 2

This post continues the previous by giving an example on how we could implement a design that allows to decide only at deploy time how services communicate: in process if they are deployed on the same server or inter-process if they are on different machines. If you haven't

Decide between In-Process or Inter-Process Communication at Deploy Time

After a long vacation in October last year, followed by some intensive work at MIRA and InfiniSwiss, now I can make some time to share some more design ideas that I have implemented along the years. I thought to resume blogging with showing how we could design for something which

AppBoot Library

AppBoot is a generic .NET application bootstrapper, we at iQuarc, have put on GitHub a while ago. It started few years back when we were about to begin developing a large enterprise application. Back then, we wanted to use the Unity Container for dependency injection, but we liked the way

Row Level Authorization with Entity Framework

A few posts back I wrote about the benefits of having a well encapsulated data access implementation. One of the benefits outlined there was the advantage it may bring when we need to implement row-level authorization at the data access level. In this post, I will detail this implementation on

Data Isolation and Sharing in a Multitenant System - Part 3

This is the last part of the "Data Isolation and Sharing in a Multitenant System" article, which is also a continuation of my post that outlines the benefits of a well encapsulated data access. In this post, we'll look in detail at the implementation of the

Data Isolation and Sharing in a Multitenant System - Part 2

This post is the second part of the article that shows how a well encapsulated data access implementation can play a key role in implementing a multitenant application. It is also a continuation of my post that outlines the additional benefits such a data access implementation may bring, multitenancy being

Comments Opened!

When I've migrated my blog to Ghost (My Wordpress to Ghost Journey) I've left a few things not done. Quite a few actually. Integrating a comments service was one of them. Last year, I didn't have much time for the blog, and the little

Data Isolation and Sharing in a Multitenant System - Part 1

In the previous post I've shown few of the additional benefits a well encapsulated data access implementation brings. Implementing multitenancy is one of them. This article continues the previous, picks up the multitenancy context from there, and shows how we can address one of the most important design

Benefits of Data Access Encapsulation

We all know that achieving a good Separation of Concerns is good, because it increases the maintainability and it reduces the cost of changing our code. This pays off big time in long running projects, with large code bases where changing code is a big part of the coding activity
