Modern applications process and generate large volumes of data. The possibility of a single web server/data source failing, resulting in losing applications and priceless data is a common nightmare among software developers. However, you can achieve high data availability if all server nodes have an identical copy of data – this implies that there won’t…
Modern problems require modern solutions. And the need for fast performance has always been a problem. NCache is a quick fix for your critical issues, such as performance and scalability. It works efficiently and covers all the problematic areas in your application, although caching has its primary purpose for more read-intensive applications. This blog thoroughly…
One common nightmare among developers and software architects is their sole web server/data source crashing, losing thousands of connected clients, applications, and precious data. With the help of a distributed, load-balanced caching layer such as NCache you can make your application tier highly scalable and available. With the increase in transaction load, you can add…
Looking around us, we see hundreds and thousands of real-time web applications that thrive on availability, reliability, and constant feedback. For example, with the Premier League (a top level of the English football league system) matches currently going on, many people have shown interest in betting against these matches. As a result, the leading real-time…
The conventional monolithic application architecture for server apps has recently undergone a paradigm shift in the software industry, and microservice architecture is currently taking its place. The idea of a collection of lightweight, loosely connected modules that each represent a single functionality and execute in their processes has been quite popular, and for good reason.…
In an environment where multiple high transaction server applications need to communicate with each other, finding the best communication channel for them is important. A publisher/subscribe (PubSub) model is one of the most popular ways when it comes to providing a communication platform for your applications. We all know what these mediums have in common;…
Lucene is an efficient and powerful search engine that supports full-text searching in .NET. It makes text searching easy and provides you with a rich set of APIs, for fast and user-friendly text searching techniques. Additionally, there is one thing that Lucene does not offer, and that is scalability. Lucene applications usually write data on…
Cosmos DB is Microsoft’s new NoSQL store released in the Azure cloud. Unlike relational databases, it is scalable as it is a hosted database service, so it enjoys a lot of popularity among high transaction .NET and .NET Core applications. However, using Cosmos DB, you need to be wary of performance bottlenecks and cost overhead…
Some of the very basic needs for .NET applications to stay competitive in today’s market are to be extremely responsive and scalable. The bottleneck in the way of achieving these benchmarks is your relational database. This is a two fold bottleneck, first the reads from disk are very inefficient and time consuming. Secondly, you cannot…
