Create Mongo Replicaset using Docker Compose
In this blog post, we will attempt to create MongoDb replicaset using docker compose. A replica set in mongodb is a group of mongod instances which maintains the same set of data. This enables applications to work despite one of the db servers going down. At every instance, there wil be only and only ONE primary node. Rest of the … Continue reading Create Mongo Replicaset using Docker Compose

Implementing Saga 002 : Message Broker
In the earlier part of this series, we created the building blocks of our microservice - the individual services. To recollect, we build 3 services, namely, Order Service, Inventory Service, and Payment Service. In this part, we will continue building our example Saga implementation. In previous post, we had created endpoints in Order Service to create an … Continue reading Implementing Saga 002 : Message Broker
Implementing Saga 001 : Building Services
In this series of post, we will build an example for Saga Pattern. We will be using the Choreography Pattern for the example. If you are interested to read more on Saga, please check out my article on Introduction to Saga Pattern. This example would use RabbitMq as the message broker. To demonstrate the pattern, let us consider the … Continue reading Implementing Saga 001 : Building Services

Consider the following code. publicclassFoo { public required string Name {get;set;} public … Continue reading The required modifier : Understand the limitations
K-Sum – A generalized solution
In this blog post, we will attempt to address the 4-Sum problem from Leet code using the generic approach of K-Sum. Let us state the official definition of the problem. Given an array nums of n integers, return an array of all the unique quadruplets [nums[a], nums[b], nums[c], nums[d]] such that: 0 <= a, b, … Continue reading K-Sum – A generalized solution
