Why Redis?

Redis is an open source, in-memory data structure store, used as database, cache and message broker. It also provides high performance and low latency, simplicity while developing complex functionality and compatibility with a wide variety of systems and languages.
It is blazingly fast and is written in C and is completely in-memory and is optimized to handle millions of operations in a second with less than 1 ms latency in a single server. It also gives in pre-built data structures for database operations which include: Lists, sets, sorted sets, hashes, hyperloglogs, bitmaps and geospatial indexes. It has client libraries in almost every language and active developer community and contributors. Best cases to use Redis would include Real-time analytics, High-speed transactions, High-speed data ingest, messaging queues, session storage, in-app social functionality, application job management, geo search and caching. Redis is also rated as the fastest growing database since 2013, #1 NoSQL datastore and the fastest database. Also, the Twitter timeline is based on Redis.

Create a calendar invite (ics file) in ASP NET

-
Creating a calendar invite (ics file) and attaching a email via service or sending an email with downloadable calendar invite is what we are going to learn in following posts. In this post, I will show how you can use ICal library from Nuget and create a calendar invite. The calendar begins with the keyword  BEGIN:VCALENDAR  and ends with  END:VCALENDAR . In between the calendar you can add as many events as you want beginning each event with  BEGIN:VEVENT  and ending with  END:VEVENT . There is a catch when adding multiple events to a calendar, and that is the type of METHOD you use. With METHOD:PUBLISH, you can add multiple events and upon opening the iCal with MS Outlook it will create a new calendar, separate from your main Exchange calendar. METHOD:REQUEST creates a calendar invite, so you can only include one event and upon opening with MS Outlook it will ask you to accept the event and add it to your main Exchange calenda...

Introduction to Git

Git is a free and Open Source version control system, a technology used to track older versions of files, providing the ability to roll back and maintain separate different versions at the same time. Git is a free ware and is a successor of SVN and CVS, two very popular version control systems of the past. First developed by Linus Torvalds (the creator of Linux), today is the go-to system which you can’t avoid if you make use of Open Source software. Introduction to Git VCS How does it work? Git is a distributed system. Many developers can  clone  a repository from a central location, work independently on some portion of code, and then  commit  the changes back to the central location where everybody updates. Git makes it very easy for developers to collaborate on a codebase simultaneously and provides tools they can use to combine all the independent changes they make. A very popular service that hosts Git repositories is GitHub, especially for ...

Create a Central Logging System

Logging is the most important part of any system. They give you insights about the application, what kind of errors are occurring and what components are causing the errors and also about how the application is reacting and working when something wrong happens. The usual practice is almost every application write to logs either in the file system or in Database. If your application is running on multiple hosts then designing a central logging system becomes crucial since you can collect, aggregate and maintain logs at one centralized location and do operations on top of them. There are many tools available to which can solve some part of the problem but we need to build a robust application using all these tools.                                                                           Create...
