Replay messages in Azure Service Bus dead-letter queue

When working and dealing with asynchronous messaging patterns – in this case, using Azure Service Bus – depending on the requirements, you will find many scenarios when you need to reprocess messages. Sometimes, a message failed because a system was offline for a certain period, there was a bug with the service, and we needed to resend specific messages and many other reasons.

Azure Functions Distributed Tracing

In today’s cloud-centric, serverless computing landscape, applications are increasingly distributed and complex, composed of numerous microservices, functions, and external dependencies. Azure Functions, a serverless compute service offered by Microsoft Azure, plays a pivotal role in building scalable, event-driven applications.

Auto-Instrumentation with the AWS CDK

As a developer I love automation, Whether it’s orchestrating a smart home or optimizing developer toolchains. Automation injects efficiency into my daily routine, simplifying intricate processes and eliminating repetitive tasks. Especially when it comes to toolchains, I’m constantly on the lookout for ways to boost coding workflows. Cloud Development Kits (CDKs) brought with them a new era of streamlined developer toolchains.

6 Best Azure FinOps Tools for Cost Optimization

FinOps is an evolving concept increasingly practiced in cloud computing organizations to manage and optimize their infrastructure cost. It requires team collaboration among Finance, Engineering and IT Operations to gain a deep understanding of the expenditure, take financial accountability, and make informed decisions to maximize the business performance.

A detailed guide on Azure Reservations

Organizations that invest in cloud technologies like Microsoft Azure might notice that cloud costs can easily get out of control. When cloud services use the Pay-as-you-go payment model, small amounts must be paid each time a cloud service is used. However, when you have deployed hundreds of cloud resources, the total spending can end up with a much higher monthly bill than expected. By optimizing your cloud costs, you lower your monthly Azure bill and gain cost efficiency and predictability.

Aggregation mapping pattern in BizTalk to Azure Integration Services migration

Let’s embark on a new journey as we begin a series of blog posts dedicated to the migration of BizTalk Server to Azure Integration Services. I’d like to highlight that when I mention the migration to Azure Integration Services (AIS), I’m making a clear distinction from Logic Apps. This differentiation is important because, contrary to what some consultants and salespeople may suggest, migrating BizTalk Server entirely to Logic Apps is not a viable path!

Send Lambda traces to Grafana Cloud with OpenTelemetry

AWS’s serverless technologies are popular because they provide cost effective scaling and great separation of concerns. However, observing serverless architectures like Lambda is challenging due to their transient nature and abstracted infrastructure. Unlike traditional systems with consistent hosts, serverless functions are ephemeral, often scaling rapidly and operating in isolation.
