  • ASP.NET Core

    ASP.NET Core is a cross-platform .NET framework for building modern cloud-based web applications on Windows, Mac, or Linux.

    • We wanted to craft a skeleton project that would provide structure and repeatability. After quick validation we decided that Weather Forecast project is probably good enough as API starting point. With that part out of the way we also needed to have a client application that we could use while developing and handing the API over to the client.

  • vscode-dev-containers

    Discontinued NOTE: Most of the contents of this repository have been migrated to the new devcontainers GitHub org (https://github.com/devcontainers). See https://github.com/devcontainers/template-starter and https://github.com/devcontainers/feature-starter for information on creating your own!

    • Before we get too far ahead, let’s codify the bits we already know. We start VS Code and browse through a catalog of available dev containers… This time round we needed to set up and orchestrate at least two: we’ve got our app as well as Hoppscotch sitting in the same virtual network. That led us to opt for docker-from-docker-compose container template. On top of that, we enhanced it with dotnet SDK installation like our AWS Lambda container.

  • Hoppscotch

    Open source API development ecosystem.

    • finally, we can use proxyscotch but that looked like a rabbit hole we may want to explore later.

  • vscode-dev-containers-hoppscotch

    VS Code template dev containers for web API and Hoppscotch

    • Once again, we used our weapon of choice and produced an artifact that enables us to develop and test containerised APIs faster!
