 Languages & Frameworks,Adopt,Blazor,"<a href=""https://dotnet.microsoft.com/apps/aspnet/web-apps/blazor"">Blazor</a> is a client-side UI framework that allows you to build interactive web UIs using C#. Blazor apps are composed of reusable web UI components implemented using C#, HTML, and CSS. Both client and server code are written in C#, allowing you to share code and libraries. Blazor can run directly in the browser using WebAsssembly, alternatively it can run client-side logic on the server by sending UI events to the server and receiving UI changes back using SignalR.<br><br>In modern web development where there's already an oversaturation of Javascript frameworks, Blazor offers .NET developers a new alternative to write client-side code without having to learn a new or unfamiliar language or framework.",false
 Languages & Frameworks,Adopt,GraphQL,"<a href=""https://graphql.org/"">GraphQL</a> is a query language for API's where the client of the API determines exactly what he wants to receive.<br><br>In most API's when you execute an action you're stuck with whatever object that action returns. If you only needed a portion of the result you've just received way more information than was necessary. Another common scenario is that you need to combine resources from multiple sources. Traditionally, this means you would have to query all sources separately and combine the data yourself.<br><br>With GraphQL, you can specify only the data that you need, even if it's across multiple sources. This cleans up the client-side because you don't need to create a lot of mappings to change what you receive from the API to what you actually need and it also reduces both the amount of API calls and the amount of wasted bandwidth sending data the client doesn't need.",false
 Languages & Frameworks,Adopt,gRPC,"With <a href=""https://grpc.io/"">gRPC</a> it is possible to communicate with remote services in a modern high perforce manner. gRPC is a Remote Procedure Call (RPC) framework where services have clear interfaces and structured messages for requests and responses. It uses <a href=""https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/overview"">Protobuf</a> to serialize the messages to a binary message format, making the payload significant smaller compared to JSON. It supports both HTTP and HTTP2.<br><br>Most web backend developers switched from SOAP to JSON (REST) / OpenAPI services past decade, and this is in many cases the best solution. However, when you have massive numbers of remote calls, milliseconds matter and both sides could be changed, gRPC should definitely be considered as a good alternative.<br><br>We prefer using gRPC in Microservice architecture environments where low latency is required.",false
-Languages & Frameworks,Adopt,Minimal Api in .Net,"<a href=""https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/fundamentals/minimal-apis"">Minimal APIs</a> are a new feature since .NET 6 that allows you to create HTTP APIs with minimal dependencies. Minimal APIs are ideal for microservices and apps that only need minimal dependencies and features. If you are new to .NET, using Minimal APIs can be helpful, because you do not have to learn and understand the ASP.NET Core MVC framework first to create your HTTP API.<br><br>With Minimal APIs you can create new HTTP APIs with just a few lines of code. At first, features like API versioning were not available yet, but as of .Net 7 we would have no problems using it for full featured APIs. Minimal APIs will not replace the traditional MVC framework, so there is no need to refactor existing applications, but it is a new possibility to create a HTTP API.<br><br>We see Minimal APIs as an excellent choice for creating all kinds of new HTTP APIs and would consider using it when starting a new project.",true

 Platforms,Adopt,Azure Cosmos DB,"<a href=""https://azure.microsoft.com/nl-nl/services/cosmos-db/"">Azure Cosmos DB</a> is a fully managed NoSQL database that excels in high performance reads, automatic scaling across multiple global regions and above most other document databases also the option to use SQL-like queries.<br><br>We have adopted Cosmos DB because it fits our needs in a lot of projects and is easy to use while developing. When relational integrity is not necessary, we like the benefits of NoSQL databases and Cosmos DB specifically. Only when it comes to heavy relational datasets, we would revert to an actual SQL database.",false
 Platforms,Adopt,Azure Functions,"<a href=""https://azure.microsoft.com/nl-nl/services/functions/"">Azure Functions</a> is Microsoft's serverless computing offering and it allows us to further eliminate infrastructural code as it lives an abstraction level higher than container technology. This enables us to focus our developing efforts on the business logic of an application. Azure Functions can also be a cost-effective platform for low usage or highly fluctuating usage patterns.",false

With AKS we have an easy-to-use tool for working with Kubernetes in the Azure cloud. Since we, as .NET developers, have a lot of experience and affinity with Microsoft Azure, AKS is the logical tool we reach for when building container applications.",false

 Tools,Adopt,FakeItEasy,"With <a href=""https://fakeiteasy.github.io/"">FakeItEasy</a>, the unit under test can be isolated from dependencies on the rest of the system. Each external dependency is replaced with a dummy, mock, stub or fake, which in FakeItEasy are all the same, are created the same, only the usage determines what they are. The framework has an intuitive fluent syntax to setup each dependency and can manage and verify each of its calls including the parameters and return values with the same ease.<br><br>Other mocking/isolation frameworks such as NSubstitute and Moq do the same job, but FakeItEasy makes it really, yes, easy.",false

This increases the quality of our code because it eliminates any chance of differences between our development, test, acceptance and production environments.<br><br>One of the features of Terraform that we particularly like is its declarative syntax. This enables us to simply declare what the environment we want Terraform to create should look like, without needing to specify every single step that needs to be executed to create it. This also means that we can see exactly what is configured on each environment without having to parse dozens of install scripts.",false
+Techniques,Trial,Contract Based Testing,"Contract-based testing is a technique used in developing systems where interactions between various components or services are verified against a contract. The primary reason to use contract-based testing is to detect problems early in the development cycle, especially in a microservices architecture or any distributed system where components are developed by different teams that may be working in parallel. Pact is a popular tool used in contract-based testing. ",false
