Andrew Poole: Async method chaining in C# => super clear orchestration code
What if there was a way to declaratively describe a chain or flow of async methods, which could be used when handling API requests or messages from a service bus queue or actually anywhere?
Recently, while refactoring a growing piece of business logic, Andrew found a way to achieve this. The logical conclusion is that related flows can be described in one place, in a single piece of orchestration, which is very easy to understand, navigate and debug.
Chris Taylor: Keep it simple folks! Building effective pipelines to deploy your code using Azure DevOps
It is really easy to fall into the trap of building complicated, logic ridden pipelines, usually created by a central team. On the tin they look great however when they go wrong they take an age to fix, and require SME knowledge that exists outside of the team!
In this talk Chris takes you through how to create simple and effective build and release pipelines in Azure DevOps, leaning into containers and Microsoft Azure, making sure you can deploy with speed, stability and most importantly confidence.
