  • F# File uploads with Saturn and Falco
    2 projects | dev.to | 19 Jul 2023
    Today I don't have a new series to start with but rather a simple example which may or may not grow in another blog series. For the moment we'll talk about how to do File uploads to an F# backend powered by Falco and Saturn so let's get started!
  • Targeting Node, Bun and Deno With F#
    10 projects | dev.to | 13 Jul 2022
    Bix is a micro-framework designed with F# in mind and that runs on both Deno and Bun! and in theory it also should even run in a service worker! (intercepting fetch requests) although I haven't tested that yet, it offers a general purpose handler that coupled with a set of route definitions it can bring a Giraffe/Saturn like framework to life in JavaScript runtimes which is incredibly awesome! useful? maybe not 😅, but awesome indeed. Let's see some code for it
  • If you were to create a Web API today from scratch how would you do it ?
    7 projects | /r/dotnet | 2 Apr 2022
    Backend: Most likely it would be a toss between https://saturnframework.org or https://giraffe.wiki. They both combins the extremely good type system in F# combined with the ease of a minimal API.
  • Why did you (any .NET pro) either choose or switch to using F#?
    4 projects | /r/dotnet | 22 Dec 2021
    The "S" stands for Saturn. Suave is not very popular.
  • Building a Webpack alternative in F#
    14 projects | dev.to | 16 Dec 2021
    While for a proof of concept Suave did great, I switched it in favor of Saturn given my familiarity with it and some ASP.NET code.

  • Doing MVC in F# and Saturn
    4 projects | dev.to | 16 Jul 2021
    Today we'll try to keep it as simple as possible but no promises, since this entry is about creating web servers in F# using Saturn and not only that, we'll also try to go for a more traditional'ish MVC.
