NLog vs. log4net vs. Serilog
Logging information in .NET, or really in any production application, is invaluable. In many cases, developers don’t have direct access to the production environment to debug issues. Good quality logs are the difference between solving problems like Sherlock Holmes and stumbling upon solutions like Inspector Jacques Clouseau. As you can imagine, we’re pretty big on logging here at Stackify, and we’ve written quite a few other blog posts on .NET logging frameworks. I’d encourage you to try out the search and read a few of our previous articles.
Top .NET Logging Frameworks Comparison
In this article, we’ll take a look at three of the most popular logging frameworks in the .NET space: log4net, NLog, and Serilog. If you’ve read any of my comparison articles in the past, you’ll know that I typically end up with some wishy-washy conclusion like, “It all depends on your situation” or some variation of “different spices for different mices.” But not this time! This time, I promise to declare one winner; one logging framework to rule them all and in the CLR bind them. https://goo.gl/cmSuKD #DataIntegration #ML
Algolia Kindly Provides a Hacker News Search API
#ICYMI: I was working on a serverless app for Streamdata.io that takes posts to Hacker News and streams them into an Amazon S3 data lake, and I came across the Algolia powered Hacker News search API. After being somewhat frustrated with the simplicity of the official Hacker News API, I was pleased to find the search kindly provided by Algolia.
There is no search API available for the core Hacker News API, and the design leaves a lot to be desired, so the simplicity of Algolia’s API solution was refreshing. There is a lot of data flowing into Hacker News on a regular day, so providing a search API is pretty critical. Additionally, Algolia’s ability to deliver such a simple, usable, yet powerful API on top of a relevant data source like Hacker News demonstrates the utility of what Algolia offers as a search solution — something I wanted to take a moment to point out here in this article. https://goo.gl/eQFcJb #DataIntegration #ML
