A visual representation facilitates understanding any complex system design. Running micro-services on a cluster is no exception. Since I am involved in running and operating containers in Docker swarm cluster, I often wonder how better I could be on top of the container tasks distribution is taking place at any given moment, their health, the… Continue reading Docker Swarm visualizer

Azure template to provision Docker swarm mode cluster
What is a swarm?The cluster management and orchestration features embedded in the Docker Engine are built using SwarmKit. Docker engines participating in a cluster are running in swarm mode. You enable swarm mode for an engine by either initializing a swarm or joining an existing swarm. A swarm is a cluster of Docker engines, or… Continue reading Azure template to provision Docker swarm mode cluster
ASP.net 4.5 applications on Docker Container
Docker makes application deployment easier than ever before. However, most of the Docker articles are often written how to containerized application that runs on Linux boxes. But since Microsoft now released windows containers, the legacy (yes, we can consider .net 4.5 as legacy apps) .net web apps are not left out anymore. I was playing… Continue reading ASP.net 4.5 applications on Docker Container
sunset-watch – yet another lightweight JavaScript BDD library
sunset-watch allows you to run BDD specifications on your web application but unlike Selenium, it runs into the same browser session as the web application itself. Which makes it super easy to configure and run tests with minimum dependencies (only jQuery at this moment) with other tools. The idea in a nutshell is like following:… Continue reading sunset-watch – yet another lightweight JavaScript BDD library
IAC – Using Azure RM templates
As cloud Software development heavily leverages virtualized systems and developers have started using Continuous Integration (CI), many things have started to change. The number of environment developers have to deal with has gone up significantly. Developers now release much frequently, in many cases, multiple times in a single day.

Production-ready mesosphere cluster on Azure with single command
Lately I have been busy exploring how a production ready mesosphere cluster can be built on top of Azure. The journey was interesting because it went through quite a few technologies that I was almost oblivious before I started. But at the same time excited and amazed by their capabilities that I feel I should… Continue reading Production-ready mesosphere cluster on Azure with single command
RabbitMQ High-availability clusters on Azure VM
Background Recently I had to look into a reliable AMQP solution (publish-subscribe queue model) in order to build a message broker for a large application. I started with the Azure service bus and RabbitMQ. It didn’t took long to understand that RabbitMQ is much more attractive over service bus because of their efficiency and cost… Continue reading RabbitMQ High-availability clusters on Azure VM
It’s harder to read code than to write it
When I started writing code for commercial projects ten years back (around 2003), I've learned an important lesson. I was assigned to write a function that serializes a data structure into XML string and send that in a SOAP body. I was very fast writing the module that mostly uses concatenation of BSTR objects in… Continue reading It’s harder to read code than to write it
Quick and easy self-hosted WCF services

I often find myself writing console applications that have a simple WCF service and a client that invokes that to check different stuffs. Most of the time,… Continue reading Quick and easy self-hosted WCF services
