The universe demands some things must always occur in a certain order. Queen's "We Will Rock You" must be followed by "We Are The Champions." Same with Led Zeppelin's "Heartbreaker" -> "Living Loving Maid," Van Halen's "Eruption" -> "You Really Got Me," and Boston's "Foreplay" -> "Long Time." You have to. Every DJ knows this. It's the rule!
Read moreIt's a pretty cool time to be a .NET developer. Don't believe it? Check out this excerpt from a popular children's book1:
Congratulations! Today is your day.
You're off to Great Places! You're off and away!Maybe you like Linux or have a MacBook,
Or want to host code without breaking your checkbook.
The license for Windows can be a bit pricey.
Getting approval for more servers can be a bit dicey.But now you have choices, it's a bit of a shocker.
You can even choose to deploy your apps using Docker!
With your skills in .NET no opportunity shall go by,
When you can even deploy on a Raspberry Pi.And now NServiceBus is ready, we've got your back.
The ultimate cross-platform messaging stack!
You're off to Great Places! Today is your day!
There's more than Windows now, so…get on your way!-Adapted from Oh, the Places You'll Go! by Dr. Seuss
In other words, NServiceBus 7 for .NET Core is here.
Read moreI'd like to share some highlights from a recent chat I had with Bryan Hogan on his No Dogma Podcast.
We kicked off with NServiceBus and how it helps building distributed systems and microservices. We talked about the general challenges such as coupling, communication, and fault tolerance. We also investigated some of the patterns that help, such as events, retries, and long running processes. We wrapped up with the importance of system monitoring, and what's next for NServiceBus.

While you probably wouldn't expect this from a software infrastructure company, we opened a theme park! Welcome to Particular World.
Read moreBy building expression trees at startup and then dynamically compiling them, we were able to achieve 10X faster pipeline execution and a 94% reduction in Gen 0 garbage creation. In this post, I'll explain the secret to getting these kinds of performance boosts from expression tree compilation.

Have you ever had to deal with a function that had hundreds and hundreds of lines? Code that had duplication all over the place? Chances are you were dealing with legacy code that was written years ago. If you're a Star Wars fan like I am, it's like dealing with the Force. As Yoda would say, “Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.” In my 15+ years of coding, every single time I've dealt with legacy code, fear, anger, hate, and suffering were pretty common.
Read moreIf you've been looking forward to using .NET Core with NServiceBus on Azure, I'm afraid we've got some bad news. Instead of making their existing Azure Service Bus client library support .NET Core, Microsoft has released a brand-new incompatible client. This makes it impossible for us to upgrade the NServiceBus Azure Service Bus transport you know and love to support .NET Core as is, and forces us to write a brand-new transport as well. Here's the full story.
Read moreToday we're happy to announce that you can start building production-grade NServiceBus systems on .NET Core. Although the bits are currently marked as beta, a release candidate with a go-live license is coming soon.
Read moreDecision making is tricky business. Decisions often move up and down the chain of command without the input of those best equipped to make those decisions. In smaller companies, there's often too much reliance on the CEO, and that doesn't scale as the company grows. Ultimately, we can easily end up in a situation where the input of those most knowledgeable is not considered.
Read moreWhile we've been working hard on supporting .NET Core lately, you may have noticed that we also released a brand new (and dare we say better?) persistence library for NServiceBus called SQL Persistence. The new persister supports multiple database engines and uses raw ADO.NET and native SQL queries, without the need for an intermediate ORM. We dreamed up some powerful new features that would take NServiceBus persistence to the next level. Up until now, our primary method of persisting data in relational databases used NHibernate, which was making it impossible to realize those dreams. We decided it was time for NServiceBus to make an evolutionary leap forward in its persistence capability.
