Great job creating a long-running process! BUT…
You now face a serious challenge: how to cancel running jobs. This is crucial when dealing with incorrect or abandoned jobs.
No worries—I’ve got the solution for you! 🎯
With Redis Pub/Sub and CancellationTokenSource, you can implement a robust cancellation process for your background jobs.
Here’s what you’ll learn in my latest video:
1️⃣ How to use Redis Pub/Sub to register a cancellation event
2️⃣ How to leverage a ConcurrentDictionary for thread-safe storage
3️⃣ How to integrate CancellationTokenSource and CancellationToken into your existing jobs

It’s time to build a long-running job process in .NET!
In my latest video, I’ll show you how to create a long-running operation from scratch and refactor a CSV import endpoint to use background jobs. This approach makes your app faster, more efficient, and more resilient.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
1️⃣ Setting up long-running jobs from scratch
2️⃣ Refactoring CSV imports to free up resources
3️⃣ Improving performance with background operations
4️⃣ Check job status (running, completed, failed, etc.)

Finally, a Feature We Actually Need!
Caching in .NET has always been a challenge. You have IMemoryCache for speed and IDistributedCache for scalability, but combining the two? That’s been a headache—until now!
With .NET 9, we get HybridCache, a powerful new API that bridges the gap, delivering the best of both worlds.

Do you ever miss the days when programming was all about solving complex problems, rather than following the latest trends?
Recently, I had a challenging task that required data manipulation across different objects. It took me back to the early days of my programming journey, reminding me of the pure joy of problem-solving and creativity.
In a world filled with new tools and trends, it’s easy to lose sight of the basics. These moments remind us of the importance of good problem-solving skills.
Have you had similar experiences lately? Share your stories in the comments. I’d love to hear about your challenges and successes!

Hey! I just had an incredible interview with Nick Cosentino, a principal software engineering manager at Microsoft, and I think you’ll love it!
We talked about how I went from coding as a kid to becoming a software engineer. I share important tips for starting a tech career and show my latest project: a video game built with Blazor!
Curious? Watch the full interview here 👇
And as always, Happy Coding

Do you struggle with syncing your local .NET application settings with the cloud environment?
Do you want a quick and simple solution to get all the environment variables from Azure App Service into your local .NET user secrets?
I’ve got you covered.
azure-sync is a shell script tool that allows you to retrieve all environment variables, including Azure KeyVault secrets, from a specified Azure App Service and add them to your local .NET secrets.
I’ve written a detailed blog post explaining how to use azure-sync and the benefits it offers. I believe this tool will be a valuable addition to your development toolkit.
Check it out here: mdbouk.com/azure-sync-sync-your-azure-app-settings…
You are also welcome to check the source code here: github.com/mhdbouk/azure-sync
Happy Coding!

So you’ve built a multi-tenant application,
but now you have a problem
How do you manage tenant-specific app settings?
How do you register a new tenant without a complex solution?
And how to manage multiple tenant databases within a single application?
In this video, I’ll show you how to solve these challenges using Azure App Configuration Store.
