C# Collection Manager (Entity mapper)
Invite pending
The CCM (C# Collections Mapper) is a working version of the handwritten mini ORM, working with the database and C # collections. Productivity is quite high, resource consumption is minimal. This ORM works directly with SQL Server stored procedures. The code is accompanied by descriptions and example .Net Console project showing the technique of ORM using.
Data is stored on the SQL server and when a large number of simultaneously connected users access it this creates a serious load on the database server. In addition, often database queries fetch the same data, which is not good in terms of server and applications load. One of ways to optimize the database in ligament with client application is to reduce traffic and to store data already received from the server on the client or in the middle application tier. Or to store already received data on the application server, especially when the database server and client applications are distributed across the network. For this purpose, the collections stored in the Session or at the application level are the best suited.

Increase Productivity and Secure your Collaboration With Troop Messenger

Picture this:
You’re leading a peace-keeping mission and simultaneously safeguarding your nation against the enemies. It’s a multi-state effort, that involves an active contribution of your colleagues from different departments, some working next door, and some in remote areas.
As a leader, there is a dire need for you to maintain an active collaboration and real-time data sharing with all the team members. You also need to integrate with third-party contractors who are handling other mission-critical services.
But, you don’t have the right medium to maintain that interaction. You don’t have a secure platform to deliver critical information among your team members. Your mission is hampered through phone calls and static email solutions, and eventually, the lack of tools and effective collaboration process dawns upon you.
But it’s too late, the delay has already caused a ruckus, and your opponents are already a step ahead.
Now, Let’s flip the scenario:
You’re organizing a similar mission with a war-torn nation. You need to have a collaboration with the masses. There are a thousand people who need to exchange information with each other — actively, remotely, and frequently — without having to worry about the security breaches.

Self-Hosted Team Communication Apps, to Replace Slack
Invite pending
As diversified workplaces and remote teams are emerging even more, the number of team communication tools is multiplying immensely.
The Problem
With so many tools on the market, which one should we choose? And is having too many tools becoming a problem?
Workplaces are Diversifying = More Tools Available = More Messy
The Rising Trend= Solution
With so many business communication tools available, a new trend has recently been emerging: businesses creating their very own branded messenger for their team communication, hosted on their servers/clouds. And the reasoning for this trend is gradually making sense to more and more businesses.
What is Self-Hosting?
Self Hosting is running your application by setting it on your servers or cloud. And some companies provide their ready-apps for team communication, that you can host and use yourself.
But what's the problem with Slack?
When using Slack, businesses have no other option but to dedicate their most confidential data and conversations to Slack. But by self hosting your own app, all your conversations will safely belong to you and only you.
Why Do People Buy Cryptocurrencies

With Cryptocurrencies occupying much of our news feeds every day, especially with the news of volatility and risks, it becomes important for us to talk about the advantages and opportunities that influence people’s decisions to invest.
According to Chohan(2017)
At its simplest, a cryptocurrency can be thought of as a digital asset that is constructed to function as a medium of exchange, premised on the technology of cryptography, to secure the transactional flow, as well as to control the creation of additional units of the currency.
As of October 2019, the most expensive cryptocurrencies worldwide were Bitcoin, Maker, Bitcoin Cash, and Ethereum. Bitcoin continued to exceed other currencies, with one coin valued at 8,266.63 U.S. dollars. Market Capitalisation of cryptocurrencies crossed $250 Billion this year and some experts believe it can reach as high as $2 trillion by 2030.

REAL TIME DASHBOARD IN POWER BI
We frequently come across real-time or streaming data in our daily lives. It is so ubiquitous that we don’t even realise that the processes we are interacting with is generating real-time data e.g. our activities on an e-commerce website or body vitals measured by wearables.
What is real-time data?
Real-time data need to be streamed before using it; much like we stream movies from Netflix. Streaming is needed for downstream analytics on the real-time data. There are streaming applications like Kafka, EventHub, Spark Streaming etc which do this job – to stream data real-time between producers and consumers of IoT data. We will discuss about them in detail later in the article. Streaming data generally have high volume and velocity.

Introduction to Spring Cloud Gateway
Invite pending
An API Gateway provides a single entry point for all the microservices running downstream. The rise in popularity of microservices-driven architecture has led to the discovery of many API gateways. Some of them are Zuul, Linkerd, Nginx, Spring Cloud Gateway and many more. In this article, we will discuss mainly about Spring Cloud Gateway.
Many e-commerce giants such as Amazon, Alibaba has hundred of microservices running and get millions of traffic. To accommodate this traffic, a blocking gateway is definitely not a solution.
A Blocking gateway such as Zuul1 requires as many threads as no of requests to handle requests coming to an API gateway and hence a lot of resources is required to handle these requests.
Hence, spring cloud team provided their own non-blocking gateway solution as Spring Cloud Gateway — a reactive Gateway built upon Project Reactor, Spring WebFlux, and Spring Boot 2.0.
A non-blocking model requires less no of resources to serve the same amount of requests as compared to blocking gateway.
As we discussed above, the spring cloud gateway is a non-blocking gateway and hence it is built upon Project Reactor and does not work in a traditional Servlet Container. Below is the architecture diagram of Spring Cloud.
Once a request reaches to the gateway, the first thing gateway does is to match the request with each of the available route based on the predicate defined. Once, the route has matched the request moves to web handler and the filters will be applied to the request.
To get started with the implementation, head over to start.spring.io and download a sample spring boot project which includes gateway artifact and import into your IDE. The complete source code can be found here.
Once, the project is imported, you can start implementing the routes.

Things to #Giveup to Become a Mindful Person Every day

There is no more joy than living in the moment and enjoying the here-and-now. I am glad I’ve reached a sense of inner peace. Pursuing mindfulness has been an extremely satisfying journey. The path of mindfulness has made me more aware of my thoughts.
But let’s face it: It is not an easy journey. A mindful life is a life no longer lived on ‘autopilot’. It takes a lot of patience. Haven’t you seen that there are times when the smartest of people easily lose mind, constantly failing to become mindful!
The painful truth about life is not being mindful in various situations. Often I eat up the whole of lunch but being so preoccupied I wonder when did I finish up everything. Always in rush, keeping eye on the kids, I fold the laundry. In the whole rush of doing the things, we are constantly losing connection with the present moment, not realizing what we’re doing and how we’re feeling.
Some common scenarios in our everyday lives showing our mindlessness include:
In this hyper-connected world, it is quite easy to lose ourselves in autopilot every day. Jon Kabat Zinn defines mindfulness as: “Paying attention; On purpose, in the present moment, and non-judgmentally.” So how can you increase your mindfulness? It comes up automatically when you start giving up things that suck. In this post, I’ll share with you what you need to ‘not’ do to better equip yourself for the long haul.
