Episode 8: Configuring NGINX with Ansible to Support ASP.NET Core

ASP.NET Core applications have a built-in webserver called Kestrel. This internal webserver is not intended to serve requests directly. It must be placed behind a production quality webserver such as NGINX or IIS. We use Ansible to provision NGINX on our Linux server.

Serverless Continuous Integration in the era of parallelism

As a team that does pure serverless, we place a lot of emphasis on fast deployments. Lately, though, as our codebase has gotten larger, and the number of interactions between the microservices has increased, we have come up against the classic problem of excessively long test execution times in our serverless continuous integration.
