Tactics for Building Background Services in .NET - Kevin Griffin - NDC London 2023

[@ConsultWithGriff]

Thanks, NDC, for hosting me! It was a lot of fun to present this topic. I'm happy to answer any questions you all have.

[@ebrahimmansur9815]

Really enjoyed the talk my friend and real insight on the background workflow.

[@ConsultWithGriff]

@@ebrahimmansur9815 I appreciate it! Thank you so much.

What approach works better with compute/memory intensive jobs which are running for several hours, with ability to scale job servers based on the load and potentially compatible with k8s ?

[@PankajNikam]

Hey Kevin, I enjoyed the talk. Can you please share a blogpost about how you DDOSed yourself?

[@sim85oo]

For Azure Functions part: it's worth noting that you can now run Azure Functions in container, so you don't have to be in Azure, especially for background jobs.

[@KrisLyubenov]

Really liked the topic and the way you've presented it! Many useful approaches put side to side for good comparison

[@ConsultWithGriff]

Thanks! That was my hope!

Bringing that pumped up dev energy to a sleepy London conference room. That intro kept me thinking “sheesh, rough crowd”

[@volkov1536]

Can I start/stop a background service from Blazor Server app? If so, how?

[@bigoper]

Great video! Where can we find the resources? code? Thank you!

[@MegaDonRules]

One more to the mix - K8 jobs / cronjobs.

[@ConsultWithGriff]

yeah! good one! I'm allergic to K8s though. 🤧🤧

[@_dyats]

​@@ConsultWithGriff why so?

[@amitkumdixit]

Hangfire is better than Quartz IMHO

[@thelastninja4825]

i feel bad for the people who attended this 'comedy' skit. unprofessional and unfunny.

[@charleswoodruff9013]

Why does every NDC presenter need to be a comedian/clown? Just present the info and get off the stage.

[@alexisfibonacci]

Humor is not a bad thing.

[@ConsultWithGriff]

Guess it's a good thing you can fast-forward?

[@ConsultWithGriff]

@@alexisfibonacci And I'm hilarious!

[@dmakogon]

I'm all-in on humor in talks - who wants to sit through a mundane presentation with no personality, no levity, no energy? But you do you: feel free to give a talk yourself, where you just present the info and get off the stage.

@@mythbuster6126 And what Devs *don't* need is insults and gaslighting about how they should deliver their own content (such as the commenter I was replying to). And to be clear here, since you brought up know-hows and experience: Kevin has a ton of hands-on experience, as well as significant community support/outreach, and this talk has significant learnings from his experience. The comment about being a comedian/clown was completely out-of-line.
