Dapper vs. Entity Framework With Postgres
Id recommend trying out MartenDb. It's not really a PostgreSQL ORM, it actually uses Postgres more as a document database via jsonb. But it's excruciatingly easy to use and schema updates are a breeze (and largely automatic)

Show HN: Light implementation of Event Sourcing using PostgreSQL as event store
Check out Marten for a fully fleshed out implementation https://github.com/JasperFx/marten

Is anyone using Dapr
We are using ExtCore here to make our app modular: https://extcore.net/, and MartenDB for event store (which is surprisingly VERY simple) : https://martendb.io/

Yet another embedded DB (kind of)
I always loved Marten, it is so simple to use and yet powerful. If you are unfamiliar with it, it is a data access library (like an ORM) that is using JSON serialization and LINQ to store and query data from/to Postgres. It basically turns Postgres into document DB. Comparing it to EF, Marten doesn't require migrations since it stores documents.

This article is covering the potential problems you will face when using MongoDB for typical relational tasks.
You're better off using Postgres (has JSON columns.) If you want a more "document" oriented experience, use Marten: https://martendb.io/

Self-Paced Kit: Introduction to Event Sourcing with Node.js and TypeScript
For that part, the samples use EventStoreDB (https://www.eventstore.com/), which is the only mature event store I know in Node.js land. Event Sourcing allows using any database as backing storage. I'm co-maintainer of the Marten (https://martendb.io/), which is a .NET library that allows using Postgres as event store and document db.

CQRS is simpler than you think with C#11 and .NET 7!
Then you should check out Marten (https://martendb.io/). Our intention is to remove the boilerplate, we're using Postgres e having the built-in projections.

Marten, a Crystal web framework that makes building web apps productive and fun
Not to be confused with the C# document database built on Postgres.

Unpopular opinion: CI/CD engines are an awful idea
This is why 90-99% of our builds are done with Cake. It isolates all of it and you can run the build locally if you want.

Cake v2.3.0 released - New Command aliases, New .NET Workload aliases, improved global caching of scripts, bug fixes, and more.
A good starting point of you want to get started with Cake is our website at https://cakebuild.net/

Cake : A C23 to C99 transpiler
I don't think it will get too much confusion, but there is a build system called Cake: https://cakebuild.net/

Achieving single command Infrastructure deployment using PowerShell DSC.
You may use other tools too: psake, make, cake, fake or any other *ake you are familiar with. I look at them as a tools that make build tasks behind simple commands and help me answer: How did I run that code again?

.NET build tool using Bullseye and SimpleExec
NAnt was quite a popular build tool used by projects of all sizes targeting .NET Framework on Windows. I have written many complex build systems using NAnt in the past. But XML based DSL was quite clunky to use and maintain. Besides, it was always a daunting task to explain to a new dev on the team. With .NET Core/.NET becoming a cross-platform framework, CAKE and FAKE gained a lot of adoption providing a C# and F# based DSL for build tasks accordingly.

Nuke Build - best build automation system
Cake (C# Make) - simple, easy to set up, and with a lot of extensions scripting with C#.

Can Cake be used to build a .NET Core 3.1 console application for Windows, Linux and Mac... on a Windows machine?
I got the example and the answer I needed on this thread: https://github.com/cake-build/cake/discussions/3564

Creating reusable build scripts with NUKE components
For those not familiar with it, Cake is a build automation system with a C#-based DSL. It is based on the concept of tasks, which are small units of work, like restoring packages, building, or testing, which can have dependencies on, or trigger, other tasks.

A super simple make wrapper for docker/podman that runs all your targets in a container - just a utility I put together to make my life slightly easier, nothing fancy
Just a note: there's already a very active community of the same name for the build utility Cake.

A stupid simple make wrapper that makes my life easier
Looks interesting! Although the name clashes with Cake (C# Make) project which could be confusing - https://cakebuild.net/
