Using ML.NET in Jupyter notebooks

November 6th, 2019

I do believe this is great news for the ML.NET community and .NET in general. You can now run .NET code (C# / F#) in Jupyter notebooks and therefore run ML.NET code in it as well! - Under the covers, this is enabled by 'dotnet-try' and its related .NET kernel for Jupyter (as early previews). The Jupyter Notebook is an open-source web ap

Designing and implementing API Gateways with Ocelot in .NET Core containers and microservices architectures

May 15th, 2018

We're currently evolving the .NET microservices guidance and eShopOnContainers reference application. One of the most important topics is about the API Gateway pattern, why it is interesting for many microservice-based applications but also, how you can implement it in a .NET Core based microservice application with a deployment based on Docke

November 18th, 2017

Background tasks and scheduled jobs are something you might need to implement, eventually, in a microservice based application or in any kind of application. The difference when using a microservices architecture is that you can implement a single microservice process/container for hosting these background tasks so you can scale it down/up as
