Making the chicken dance one line of code at a time
And automatically implement a retention policy
Disaster recovery is something every company needs to plan for. With the cloud and Infrastructure As Code (IAC) we can set up a robust cloud backup solution that requires minimal configuration to add additional servers.
Updating legacy apps for the future
The instructions below work the same for .net 6 and mage version 6. The specific version numbers below are left as is but the specific versions are not required.
Lets make the legacy app work with the new stuff
Legacy software is fun. Sometimes we need to update code to enable new authentictaion methods. In todays adventure our intrepid developer heads off on the quest to get the legacy .net framework 4.6.1 WinForms app working with the new user store, AWS Cognito.
So many options to do things badly, so few to do it right
Once again we enter the scene with the developer manager trying to figure out what the best way to secure the applications are. This one is different from the API gateway since it is meant for users and not just automated access. The additional wrinkle is that as part of this project we wanted to add SSO to our reporting portal, a soon to be built order entry portal, and a client invoicing portal. So three different apps, one being migrated from Web Forms, one a third party product, and…
Reflection, Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration, Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection, and a healthy dose of not stopping to ask if we should.
When working in multi-tenant systems being able to swap implementations based on which client is logged in can be very helpful.
