Achievement updates

Adding to my log of technical accomplishments since my last post I have:
  • Deployed an Azure Service Bus consumer written in PHP using the curl interface.
    • This also reused the Bicep CI/CD for creating the queue ... very elegant
  • Deployed opensearch + dashboards + fluent-bit into a docker compose stack
    this provides observability over nginx logs
  • I also deployed my first change in C# ASP .Net
    ... I'm not a big fan of the Entity Framework. Perhaps it's the way that it is being used in the project that I'm working on. It abstracts too far away from SQL , which is the most successful DSL on the planet. SQL is understood by many people on the project from different roles : Programmers, Business Analysts and Project Managers, EF replaces an easily readable query with a technical chunk of code only understood by programmers often with the SQL generated only at runtime making SQL Optimization very difficult.
