I’ve always liked the idea of Dgraph (relational database with graphQL). I’m looking at Dgraph hosted slash graphQL vs ms fabric SQL with GraphQL enabled.

Nice post on setting up webhooks from Azure Monitor

I’m comparing AI engines today: I’ve built a prompt relating to a fairly complex UK tax query. And a follow on prompt. My scoring was: Claude.io : 10/10 ChatGPT 4 (free) : 8/10 Bing/MS copilot (free) : 7/10 Perplexity Pro (paid) : 6/10 Deekseek : 2/10

Is this platform getting every fruit loop from Twitter? I just want a platform where I get relevant content I can use.

Great 8 min video on token theft. youtu.be/gPcNlm0CyOw?... Good info on token theft, and then using Entra to prevent reuse of token using conditional policy or services

Node now supports TypeScript by default: By @mattpocock.com www.totaltypescript.com/typescript-i...

Had an initial look at windsurf.io as an IDE. Basically, it’s a branch of VSCode with AI coupled in.

Demo Time created by @eliostruyf.com looks fantastic for VSCode demos. If you do coding presentations it will help as I tend to forget steps and need to call out areas. www.producthunt.com/products/dem...

Low code is a key tool for businesses. There is a place for programming languages and the same applies to low code. Lowcode coupled with api, and eventing can build maintainable apps in a less time and expense. All technology can put your company’s future at risk, low code is no different.

Building a C# app in .Net 8 as a holiday project. I see there are new data annotation properties I remember the good old days of using Regex to validate simple data input, so much effort use to go into email [EmailAddress(ErrorMessage = "Invalid email address.")] public string Email { get; set; }

Postwright - Tool to convert Postman Collections into Playwright scripts github.com/bhadmus/post...

Fantastic news

#Playwright E2E testing release 1.49 has important and useful features. The biggest being the extra assert option using the Aria snapshots based on the accessibility. It also adjusts to the chromium changes (headless engine), and a useful retain-on-first-failure time to upgrade to the lates

Here is an interesting post for testing test #APIs without a swagger contract . I use #postman for api testing but I’m going to look at #playwright for api testing medium.com/@adam_pajda/...

Postman’s infrastructure is awesome, I’ll be attending the Europe webinar on 12 dec #postman.

www.sharepointeurope.com/events/test-... If u are at ESPC go see @eliostruyf.com session on playwright and GitHub actions. I strongly believe we need more E2E testing on power apps

MS Fabric Data Activator acts on real time intelligence (RTI) when conditions are met, and kind of works like alerts but also allows actions to be run like workflows and is now in GA. Another feature I’d like to investigate

I use perplexity.ai on my phone a lot even for qus at work. I upgraded to Perplexity pro this week. Check It out, very rarely use Google or bing for searches on my iPhone.

Playwright 1.49 released, going to have a look at the new features. The await functionality is rather flakey with canvas apps - pls tell me I’m wrong

The new SQL database in Microsoft Fabric announced at #Ignite looks interesting for app development. Anyone know about rest APIs or Microsoftpowerplatform connectors

I quite like setting up state using Dataverse’s API’s so I can use playwright to test and the delete the test data using the APIs. I find E2E test data state setup & rear down can fail. Or land me in an unknown state

This short annotated video show setting up #Azure #AppInsights on log analytics using #Pulumi to provision the #IaC the example is done using TypeScript youtu.be/9ufR5FXDqws?...

I have submitted our session with @laura-gb.bsky.social for colorcloud.rocks 25th of April 2025 on #playwright, azure monitor, MS FABRIC RTI, and #powerBI. This conference was outstanding and I highly recommend. Hamburg is a wonderful city. I’ll be there for the duration presenting or not

4 reason I’d choosing Mendix over canvas apps/power pages: 1. Can be hosted anywhere 2. Data store can be any data source with a configurable Rest api layered on 3. Scrum and ALM integration 4. Device integration common in manufacturing

I like Mendix for low code development, I feel the power platform is generally a way better option. Its connectors, reporting, ease of use, .. make it a way stronger proposition for businesses. Gardner have three low code apps up in their top vendors for there 2024 report. PP imo is an easy winner

I’ve been using Pulumi for my IaC, it’s so good. A short intro where I provision azure app insights. www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCZO... #pulumi #iac #typescript #azure I’ve used it for AWS and azure and I think it’s marvellous

Check out api mocking in playwright by @eliostruyf.com www.eliostruyf.com/mock-power-a... You can also intercept API calls in playwright; haven’t tried it yet but useful

I’m enjoying #playwright, over the next week or two I’m hoping to have a look at the Azure playwright service for automate #E2E testing. There are key new features regarding AAD on the service and improved troubleshooting capability. techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/appsona...
