Q1 …..ANGULAR PERFORMACE

 

How to improve perfromace of angular applications

ChatGPT

To improve the performance of Angular applications, you can follow several best practices and optimization techniques. Here are some tips to enhance the performance of your Angular applications:

1.      Enable Production Mode: Ensure that your Angular application is running in production mode. This mode disables development-specific features and activates additional optimizations, resulting in faster performance. You can enable production mode by setting the --prod flag when building or serving your application (ng build --prod or ng serve --prod).

2.      Lazy Loading: Split your application into feature modules and use lazy loading to load modules only when they are needed. This approach reduces the initial loading time of your application by loading modules on-demand.

3.      Tree Shaking: Leverage tree shaking, a technique that eliminates unused code from your application during the build process. Configure your bundler (such as webpack) to remove dead code, resulting in a smaller bundle size and improved loading speed.

4.      Ahead-of-Time (AOT) Compilation: Utilize AOT compilation instead of Just-in-Time (JIT) compilation. AOT compilation moves the compilation process from the client's browser to the build step, reducing the runtime overhead and enabling faster initial rendering.

5.      Change Detection Strategy: Optimize the change detection strategy in your Angular components. By default, Angular uses the "Default" change detection strategy, which checks all component bindings on every change detection cycle. Consider using the "OnPush" strategy, which only checks for changes when input properties change or when triggered manually. This can significantly reduce unnecessary change detection cycles and enhance performance.

6.      Minimize Bundle Size: Reduce the size of your application's bundle by optimizing your code, removing unused dependencies, and compressing assets. Utilize tools like Angular CLI's production build options and optimization plugins to minimize the bundle size.

7.      Performance Profiling: Identify performance bottlenecks in your application using profiling tools like Chrome DevTools or Angular's built-in performance profiling tools. Analyze areas that consume excessive CPU, cause unnecessary re-rendering, or lead to slow loading times. Once identified, optimize those sections for better performance.

8.      Code Optimization: Write efficient and optimized code by avoiding unnecessary operations, reducing DOM manipulation, and minimizing expensive computations. Utilize Angular features like pipes, memoization, and pure functions to optimize your code.

9.      Caching and HTTP Requests: Implement appropriate caching mechanisms for static assets and API requests. Leverage browser caching, HTTP caching headers, and techniques like memoization to reduce unnecessary network requests and improve response times.

10.   Performance Monitoring: Continuously monitor the performance of your Angular application in production. Use tools like Google Analytics, New Relic, or custom monitoring solutions to identify performance issues, track metrics, and proactively optimize your application.

Remember, the specific optimizations required for your Angular application may vary depending on its complexity and requirements. It's important to analyze and measure the performance impact of each optimization technique to ensure the best results.

ChatGPT

Certainly! Here are a few more tips to further improve the performance of your Angular applications:

11.   Use TrackBy Function: When rendering lists or using ngFor directives, provide a trackBy function to help Angular identify unique items efficiently. This improves the rendering performance by avoiding unnecessary re-rendering of unchanged items.

12.   Optimized Asset Loading: Optimize the loading of assets such as images, fonts, and stylesheets. Compress and resize images appropriately, utilize lazy loading for images below the fold, leverage content delivery networks (CDNs) for static assets, and minimize the number of HTTP requests.

13.   Service Workers and Progressive Web Apps (PWAs): Implement service workers to enable offline capabilities and improve performance by caching static assets. Convert your Angular application into a Progressive Web App (PWA) to enhance the user experience and enable faster loading, especially on repeat visits.

14.   Angular Universal: Consider using Angular Universal to implement server-side rendering (SSR) for your application. SSR improves initial rendering speed and search engine optimization (SEO) by generating the HTML on the server before sending it to the client.

15.   Code Splitting: Divide your code into smaller chunks and leverage code splitting techniques to load only the required code for each route or feature. This approach improves the initial load time and allows for better caching and parallel loading of resources.

16.   Avoid Excessive Watchers: Be mindful of creating too many watchers (subscribers) on observables or using excessive two-way data bindings. Excessive watchers can lead to performance degradation. Use the async pipe to handle observables in templates, as it automatically unsubscribes when the component is destroyed.

17.   Avoid Heavy Computations in Templates: Minimize heavy computations and logic in your Angular templates. Instead, compute the values in the component and pass them to the template. This reduces the load on the template rendering engine and improves overall performance.

18.   Use OnPush Change Detection: When using the "OnPush" change detection strategy, ensure that you handle immutable data properly. If the object reference remains the same, Angular won't detect changes. Use immutability techniques or clone objects to trigger change detection when needed.

19.   Proper Memory Management: Clean up resources and unsubscribe from subscriptions in Angular components' ngOnDestroy lifecycle hook to prevent memory leaks. Unsubscribing from observables and freeing up resources helps maintain application performance and avoids unnecessary memory consumption.

20.   Keep Dependencies Up to Date: Regularly update Angular and its dependencies to leverage performance improvements, bug fixes, and new features introduced in newer versions.

Remember to measure the impact of each optimization technique and profile your application to identify areas that require further improvement. Continuously monitor the performance of your Angular application and iterate on optimizations as needed.

ngOnDestroy when it will call

ChatGPT

The ngOnDestroy lifecycle hook in Angular is called when a component is being destroyed and removed from the component tree. It is the last lifecycle hook to be called before the component is removed.

The ngOnDestroy method is typically used to perform cleanup tasks such as unsubscribing from subscriptions, canceling timers, releasing resources, or performing any necessary teardown operations.

Here's the general sequence of lifecycle hooks when a component is destroyed:

1.      ngOnChanges: This hook is called when the component's inputs change, but it's not triggered during the component destruction process.

2.      ngOnInit: This hook is called when the component is initialized and ready to be used.

3.      ngDoCheck: This hook is called during every change detection cycle, but it's not triggered during the component destruction process.

4.      ngAfterContentInit: This hook is called after the component's content (if any) has been projected into its view.

5.      ngAfterContentChecked: This hook is called after the component's content (if any) has been checked.

6.      ngAfterViewInit: This hook is called after the component's view has been initialized.

7.      ngAfterViewChecked: This hook is called after the component's view has been checked.

8.      ngOnDestroy: This hook is called just before the component is destroyed and removed from the component tree. It's the ideal place to perform cleanup tasks.

After the ngOnDestroy hook is called, the component is no longer accessible, and its resources should be properly released.

To implement the ngOnDestroy hook in an Angular component, you need to include the method in the component class and provide any necessary cleanup logic within it. For example:

typescriptCopy code

import { Component, OnDestroy } from '@angular/core'; import { Subscription } from 'rxjs'; @Component({ selector: 'app-my-component', template: '...', }) export class MyComponent implements OnDestroy { private subscription: Subscription; constructor() { this.subscription = /* initialize subscription */; } ngOnDestroy(): void { this.subscription.unsubscribe(); // Perform any other necessary cleanup tasks } }

By implementing the ngOnDestroy hook, you can ensure that resources are properly released and prevent potential memory leaks in your Angular application.

how this happned component is being destroyed and removed from the component tree.

ChatGPT

In Angular, components are managed within a component tree structure. When a component is destroyed, it means that it is being removed from this component tree and is no longer part of the active view hierarchy.

Component destruction can occur due to various reasons, such as:

1.      Routing: When navigating to a different route, the current component may be destroyed as a new component is rendered in its place.

2.      Conditional Rendering: If a component is conditionally rendered using structural directives like *ngIf or *ngSwitchCase, the component may be destroyed when the condition evaluates to false.

3.      Explicit Removal: Components can also be explicitly removed from the component tree programmatically by manipulating the component references or using component removal methods.

When a component is destroyed and removed from the component tree, Angular goes through a specific sequence of steps to clean up and finalize the component's lifecycle. This sequence ensures that all necessary operations are performed before the component is completely removed.

Here's an overview of the process:

1.      Angular triggers the ngOnDestroy lifecycle hook in the component just before it is removed from the component tree.

2.      Inside the ngOnDestroy method, you can perform cleanup tasks such as unsubscribing from subscriptions, canceling timers, releasing resources, or any other necessary teardown operations.

3.      Once the ngOnDestroy hook completes execution, Angular removes the component from the component tree and frees up the associated memory.

It's important to note that when a component is destroyed, its child components are also destroyed recursively, following the same process. This ensures that the entire component tree is properly cleaned up.

By providing the ngOnDestroy method in your component and implementing necessary cleanup logic within it, you can ensure that resources are released properly and avoid memory leaks or other issues associated with component destruction.

5.      Code Splitting and Lazy Loading: Split your Angular application into smaller modules and load them on demand using lazy loading. This approach reduces the initial bundle size and allows users to access specific functionality when needed, improving load times and reducing server load.

6.      Caching and CDN: Implement caching mechanisms on both the server and client sides. Leverage browser caching headers, implement server-side caching for dynamic data, and utilize Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) to cache static assets. Caching reduces the load on the server and improves response times for subsequent requests.

7.      Use Reactive Programming: Utilize reactive programming paradigms and libraries like RxJS to handle asynchronous tasks efficiently. Reactive programming helps manage concurrent events and asynchronous data streams, resulting in more responsive and scalable applications.

8.      Optimize Data Transfer: Minimize the amount of data transferred between the server and client. Employ techniques like compression (e.g., Gzip), efficient data serialization (e.g., JSON instead of XML), and selective loading of data to reduce network latency and bandwidth usage.

9.      Efficient DOM Manipulation: Avoid excessive DOM manipulation and use Angular's change detection strategy effectively. Optimize your templates and avoid unnecessary rendering or reflows. Leverage Angular's trackBy function for efficient rendering of lists and avoid rendering unchanged items.

10.   Performance Testing and Tuning: Regularly perform load testing and stress testing to identify performance limitations and bottlenecks. Use tools like Apache JMeter or Artillery to simulate a high number of concurrent users and measure the response times and system behavior.

WEB API PERFORNCE

Improving the performance of a .NET Core web API involves various strategies and optimizations. Here are some techniques you can consider:

1.      Caching: Implement caching mechanisms to store frequently accessed data in memory or a distributed cache. This reduces the need to fetch data from the database or perform expensive operations repeatedly.

2.      Use Asynchronous Operations: Employ asynchronous programming techniques to improve the scalability and responsiveness of your API. Asynchronous operations allow your application to handle more concurrent requests by freeing up threads while waiting for I/O operations to complete.

3.      Efficient Database Access: Optimize your database access patterns by using techniques like batching, eager loading, and efficient querying. Consider using an ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) tool like Entity Framework Core with appropriate optimizations for database performance.

4.      Minimize Network Round-Trips: Reduce the number of network round-trips by batching multiple requests into a single request or using techniques like GraphQL to retrieve only the required data in a single API call.

5.      Load Balancing and Scaling: Distribute the load across multiple servers using load balancers. You can scale your application horizontally by adding more servers or vertically by upgrading hardware resources.

6.      Performance Monitoring and Profiling: Monitor your API's performance using tools like Application Performance Monitoring (APM) or profiling tools. Identify bottlenecks, slow-running queries, or resource-intensive operations and optimize them accordingly.

7.      Use Response Compression: Enable response compression to reduce the size of data sent over the network. Gzip or Brotli compression can significantly reduce the payload size, leading to faster data transfer.

8.      HTTP Caching: Leverage HTTP caching mechanisms like ETags and cache control headers to allow client-side caching. This reduces the need to transfer data over the network when the data hasn't changed.

9.      Optimize Serialization: Choose efficient serialization formats like JSON or Protocol Buffers. Use performance-focused serialization libraries and techniques, such as using binary serialization for performance-critical scenarios.

10.   Performance Testing and Tuning: Conduct load testing to simulate real-world usage scenarios and identify performance bottlenecks. Use profiling tools and performance benchmarks to measure and optimize critical code paths.

ChatGPT

Certainly! Here are a few more tips to improve the performance of your .NET Core web API:

1.      Use Response Pagination: When returning large datasets, implement pagination in your API responses. Instead of returning all the data at once, return a subset of results and provide pagination metadata (such as page number, page size, total count) to allow clients to request specific subsets of data. This reduces the response payload size and improves overall performance.

2.      Enable HTTP/2: If your web server and client support HTTP/2, enable it to take advantage of its performance benefits. HTTP/2 allows for concurrent requests over a single connection, header compression, and other optimizations that can improve the efficiency of data transfer.

3.      Enable HTTP/3 (QUIC): HTTP/3, based on the QUIC protocol, is the next generation of the HTTP protocol. It offers improved performance, especially in high-latency and lossy network environments. Consider enabling HTTP/3 if your infrastructure and client support it.

4.      Use a Content Delivery Network (CDN): If your web API serves static content, images, or other assets, consider using a CDN. CDNs cache your content across multiple edge servers worldwide, reducing the latency and load on your API server. This improves the delivery speed and scalability of your assets.

5.      Optimize JSON Serialization: If your API heavily relies on JSON serialization, consider using faster JSON serialization libraries like Utf8Json or System.Text.Json (introduced in .NET Core 3.0+). These libraries provide better performance compared to Newtonsoft.Json (Json.NET) in certain scenarios.

6.      Implement Rate Limiting: To prevent abuse and ensure fair usage, implement rate limiting in your API. Rate limiting helps to manage the number of requests from a client within a specific time frame. This prevents excessive resource consumption and maintains overall API performance.

7.      Use HTTP Response Caching: For static or infrequently changing API responses, utilize HTTP response caching. By setting appropriate cache control headers, you can allow intermediate proxies or clients to cache the response, reducing the load on your server.

8.      Optimize Logging and Error Handling: Review your logging and error handling mechanisms to ensure they are efficient. Logging can impact performance, especially when excessive or expensive operations are involved. Use log levels wisely and consider asynchronous logging strategies.

9.      Containerize and Optimize Hosting: If you deploy your API using containers (e.g., Docker), ensure your containerization strategy is optimized for performance. Consider using lightweight base images, configuring appropriate resource limits, and utilizing container orchestration platforms like Kubernetes for scalability and management.

10.   Continuously Monitor and Optimize: Performance optimization is an ongoing process. Continuously monitor the performance of your API in production, collect metrics, and analyze them. Identify areas for improvement and optimize accordingly to ensure consistent high performance.

Remember, performance optimization should be based on profiling and measuring your specific application's behavior. Regularly analyze metrics and user feedback to prioritize optimizations and ensure your efforts align with your API's performance goals.

more to oprimise code in .net core side ?

ChatGPT

Certainly! Here are some additional techniques to optimize your code in .NET Core:

1.      Use Asynchronous I/O: When performing I/O-bound operations like accessing databases or making external API calls, use asynchronous methods (e.g., async/await) to avoid blocking threads and improve scalability. Asynchronous programming allows threads to be released and utilized for handling other requests while waiting for I/O operations to complete.

2.      Avoid Blocking Calls: Be cautious when using synchronous blocking operations, such as Thread.Sleep or synchronous database access. These calls can cause threads to be blocked, leading to poor scalability and responsiveness. Whenever possible, prefer asynchronous alternatives or use non-blocking patterns like callbacks or events.

3.      Optimize Database Queries: Ensure that your database queries are optimized for performance. Use proper indexing, write efficient SQL queries, and leverage features like query caching and stored procedures. Monitor the execution plans of your queries and optimize them as necessary to reduce unnecessary database load and improve response times.

4.      Reduce Object Allocation: Frequent object allocation and garbage collection can impact performance. Identify areas of your code where unnecessary objects are created and consider reusing objects or implementing object pooling techniques. This reduces the load on the garbage collector and improves memory utilization.

5.      Avoid String Concatenation: String concatenation using the "+" operator can be inefficient, especially when concatenating multiple strings in a loop. Instead, use the StringBuilder class when you need to build strings iteratively. StringBuilder provides better performance by minimizing memory reallocation.

6.      Use Value Types and Structs: Value types (e.g., structs) are allocated on the stack and generally have better performance characteristics than reference types (e.g., classes) allocated on the heap. Use value types when appropriate, especially for small, lightweight data structures.

7.      Profile and Optimize Hot Code Paths: Identify the critical sections of your code that contribute significantly to the overall execution time. Use profiling tools (e.g., Visual Studio Profiler, dotTrace) to identify hot code paths and optimize them for better performance. This could involve algorithmic improvements, data structure optimizations, or reducing unnecessary calculations.

8.      Lazy Loading and Deferred Execution: Utilize lazy loading and deferred execution techniques to load or calculate data only when it's actually needed. This can improve startup time and reduce unnecessary processing or data retrieval.

9.      Enable Just-In-Time (JIT) Compiler Optimization: By default, .NET Core applications use the Just-In-Time (JIT) compilation process. Ensure that your application is running with optimizations enabled, which can be achieved by building and deploying in Release mode. Optimized code generated by the JIT compiler can significantly improve execution speed.

10.   Use Performance-Focused Libraries: Review and choose libraries and frameworks that prioritize performance. For example, consider using high-performance ORM libraries like Dapper instead of heavier alternatives like Entity Framework if raw performance is a critical requirement.

Remember that optimizing code should always be based on measurements and profiling. Identify the performance bottlenecks specific to your application, prioritize optimizations accordingly, and regularly measure the impact to ensure you're achieving the desired performance improvements.

 

 

DB BASE SIDE PERFORMACES

 

To improve performance on the database side, you can consider the following:

1.      Index Optimization: Analyze your database queries and identify frequently used columns approaches in the WHERE and JOIN conditions. Create appropriate indexes on these columns to speed up query execution.

2.      Query Optimization: Review and optimize your database queries. Ensure that you are retrieving only the required data by using specific column names instead of the asterisk (*) in SELECT statements. Use efficient JOINs and avoid unnecessary subqueries.

3.      Database Schema Optimization: Review your database schema and ensure that it is properly designed. Normalize your tables to minimize redundancy and improve query performance. Consider denormalization in cases where it can provide significant performance gains.

4.      Caching: Implement a caching mechanism to store frequently accessed data in memory. This can help reduce the number of database queries and improve response times. Consider using tools like Redis or Memcached for caching.

5.      Connection Pooling: Implement connection pooling to reuse database connections instead of creating new ones for each user request. This can reduce the overhead of establishing and tearing down connections, resulting in improved performance.

6.      Partitioning and Sharding: If your database is growing large, consider partitioning or sharding your data. Partitioning involves splitting a table into smaller, more manageable parts based on a specific criterion, such as range or list. Sharding involves distributing data across multiple database servers. Both techniques can help improve performance and scalability.

7.      Hardware Upgrades: Evaluate your hardware infrastructure and consider upgrading components such as CPUs, memory, and storage to handle increased database workloads.

8.      Database Maintenance: Regularly perform database maintenance tasks such as optimizing and rebuilding indexes, updating statistics, and archiving or purging old data. These activities can help keep your database in optimal condition.

9.      Monitoring and Tuning: Monitor your database performance using tools like database-specific monitoring utilities or third-party solutions. Identify performance bottlenecks and tune your database configuration parameters accordingly.

10.   Asynchronous Processing: Offload resource-intensive or time-consuming tasks to background processes or separate services. This can help improve the responsiveness of your application by reducing the workload on the database.

Remember, the specific techniques and optimizations will depend on your database management system (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, etc.) and the characteristics of your application. It's important to analyze your specific use case and apply the appropriate strategies for your situation.

Certainly! Here are some additional tips to further enhance high availability and query performance on the database side:

High Availability:

1.      Multi-Data Center Replication: Implement replication across multiple geographically distributed data centers to ensure redundancy and disaster recovery. This provides additional fault tolerance and reduces the impact of regional outages.

2.      Automatic Scaling: Utilize automated scaling solutions to dynamically adjust the database resources based on workload demand. This can involve horizontal scaling by adding more database servers or vertical scaling by increasing the resources allocated to each server.

3.      Database Mirroring: Set up a database mirroring configuration where a standby server maintains a synchronized copy of the primary database. In the event of a primary server failure, failover to the standby server can be performed quickly, minimizing downtime.

4.      Cloud Database Services: Consider leveraging managed database services provided by cloud providers. These services often offer built-in high availability features, automated backups, and scalable infrastructure, reducing the burden of managing high availability on your own.

Query and Database Performance:

1.      Query Rewrite: Analyze complex queries and consider rewriting them to use more efficient techniques or alternative approaches. This may involve breaking down complex queries into smaller, simpler ones or using specific SQL constructs optimized for performance.

2.      Materialized Views: Implement materialized views, which are precomputed results of queries stored as tables. Materialized views can significantly improve query performance for frequently executed, complex queries by eliminating the need for expensive calculations or joins.

3.      Database Denormalization: Introduce denormalization selectively in your database schema, where redundant data is intentionally introduced to optimize read performance. This technique can be useful for scenarios where read operations significantly outweigh write operations.

4.      Database Partitioning Strategies: Explore advanced partitioning strategies such as range partitioning, list partitioning, or hash partitioning. These techniques distribute data across multiple storage locations based on predefined criteria, improving query performance and manageability.

5.      Database Compression Techniques: Utilize compression algorithms and techniques provided by your database system to reduce the storage footprint and improve I/O performance. Compressing data can lead to faster data retrieval and reduced disk I/O requirements.

6.      In-Memory Databases: Consider utilizing in-memory databases or caching solutions to store frequently accessed or critical data in memory. In-memory databases can deliver exceptional performance by eliminating disk I/O latency.

7.      Database Query Plan Analysis: Analyze the execution plans generated by the database optimizer for your queries. Identify inefficient query plans and consider using query hints or rewriting queries to guide the optimizer towards more efficient execution plans.

8.      Database Connection Optimization: Fine-tune the database connection settings to optimize connection establishment and teardown times. Adjust parameters like connection pooling, connection timeouts, and socket buffer sizes based on the specific requirements of your application.

9.      Database Query Load Balancing: Implement intelligent query load balancing techniques to distribute the query workload across multiple database servers. This ensures that no single server is overwhelmed with requests and optimizes overall query performance.

10.   Database Profiling and Monitoring Tools: Utilize advanced profiling and monitoring tools specific to your database system to capture query execution statistics, identify performance bottlenecks, and fine-tune the database configuration accordingly.

Remember to analyze and address both database-specific optimizations and application-level optimizations to achieve the best overall performance. Regularly monitor and benchmark your database to identify new opportunities for improvement as your workload evolves.

 Implementing database query load balancing involves distributing the incoming query workload across multiple database servers to optimize performance and prevent any single server from becoming overwhelmed. Here are some steps to implement database query load balancing:

1.     Load Balancer Configuration: Set up a load balancer that acts as a front-end to your database servers. The load balancer receives incoming queries and distributes them across the available database servers based on a specific algorithm.

2.     Choose a Load Balancing Algorithm: Select an appropriate load balancing algorithm based on your requirements. Common algorithms include round-robin, least connections, IP hash, or weighted distribution. Each algorithm has its own advantages and considerations, so choose the one that best suits your workload and desired outcomes.

3.     Configure Database Server Pool: Create a pool of database servers that will handle the query workload. These servers should be identical in terms of hardware, software, and database schema. Ensure that the database servers are properly configured to accept incoming connections.

4.     Connection Pooling: Implement connection pooling on the application side to manage and reuse database connections efficiently. Connection pooling allows multiple queries to be sent over a single connection, reducing the overhead of establishing new connections for each query.

5.     Monitor Database Server Health: Continuously monitor the health and availability of the database servers in the pool. This can be done by implementing health checks, monitoring server metrics, and setting up alerts for any issues or failures.

6.     Distribute Queries: The load balancer receives incoming queries and distributes them to the available database servers based on the selected load balancing algorithm. The load balancer should track the current workload on each server to make informed decisions on query distribution.

7.     Session Persistence: Consider implementing session persistence or sticky sessions to ensure that related queries from a particular client or session are routed to the same database server. This is important for maintaining data consistency and avoiding issues with distributed transactions or session-dependent operations.

8.     Scalability and Elasticity: Design the load balancing solution to scale horizontally by adding or removing database servers dynamically based on the workload. This allows you to handle varying levels of query traffic efficiently and ensure high availability.

9.     Failover and Redundancy: Configure the load balancer to handle server failures by automatically detecting and removing failed servers from the pool. Failed servers can be replaced with healthy servers to ensure continuous query availability.

10.  Load Balancer Monitoring and Tuning: Regularly monitor the performance and effectiveness of the load balancer. Fine-tune the load balancing algorithm, connection limits, and other parameters based on the observed query patterns and performance metrics.

It's important to note that the specific steps and implementation details may vary depending on the load balancer technology or platform you choose, as well as the database management system you are using. Consult the documentation and guidelines provided by your load balancer and database system for detailed instructions on configuration and optimization.

Comparison: Azure Load Balancer vs Application Gateway in Azure.

TL;DR:

Azure Load Balancer works with traffic at Layer 4.
Application Gateway works with Layer 7 traffic, and specifically with HTTP/S (including WebSockets).

Azure Application Gateway

Azure Application Gateway — Route Based Traffic

Application Gateway (AGW) is a web traffic manager for your web applications (one or multiple).

1. With AGW, on top of load balancing your workloads, you can make routing decisions based on URI path or host headers. For example, you can route traffic based on the incoming URL. If /images are in the inbound URL, you can route traffic to a specific set of servers (or pool) configured for images. If /video is in the URL, that traffic is routed to another pool.

2.It can be used to do TLS/SSL termination. TLS/SSL termination can be useful to allow unencrypted traffic between AGW and backend servers saving some of processing load needed to encrypt and decrypt said traffic. However, sometimes unencrypted communication to the servers is not acceptable because of security requirements, compliance requirements, or application may only accept a secure connection. In these situations, Application Gateway also supports end-to-end TLS/SSL encryption.

Azure Application Gateway — Backend Pools

3. It includes a web application firewall called Web application firewall (WAF) that protects your workload from common exploits like SQL injection attacks or cross-site scripting attacks, to name a few.

4. It provides application delivery controller (ADC) as a service, offering various Layer 7 load-balancing capabilities. Use it to optimize web farm productivity by offloading CPU-intensive SSL termination to the gateway.

Azure Load Balancer

Azure Load Balancer

Load balancing refers to evenly distributing load (incoming network traffic) across a group of backend resources or servers. Azure Load Balancer distributes inbound flows that arrive at the load balancer’s front end to backend pool instances. These flows are according to configured load balancing rules and health probes. The backend pool instances can be Azure Virtual Machines or instances in a virtual machine scale set.

1. It can also provide outbound connections for virtual machines inside your virtual network by translating their private IP addresses to public IP addresses.

2.It is a TCP/UDP load balancing and port forwarding engine only. It does not terminate, respond, or otherwise interact with the traffic. It simply routes traffic based on source IP address and port, to a destination IP address and port.

3.Azure Load Balancer is a high-performance, low-latency Layer 4 load-balancing service (inbound and outbound) for all UDP and TCP protocols. It is built to handle millions of requests per second while ensuring your solution is highly available. It is zone-redundant, ensuring high availability across Availability Zones.

Azure Load Balancer

A public load balancer can provide outbound connections for virtual machines (VMs) inside your virtual network. These connections are accomplished by translating their private IP addresses to public IP addresses. Public Load Balancers are used to load balance internet traffic to your VMs.

An internal (or private) load balancer is used where private IPs are needed at the frontend only. Internal load balancers are used to load balance traffic inside a virtual network. A load balancer frontend can be accessed from an on-premises network in a hybrid scenario.

The main topic of this article is to describe how we can integrate an event-driven architecture with microservices using event sourcing and CQRS.

Microservices are independent, modular services that have their own layered architecture.

When microservices share the same database, the data model among the services can follow relationships among the tables associated with the microservices.

For example, there are two microservices running in their own containers: 'Order' and 'Customer.'

The Order service will take care of creating, deleting, updating, and retrieving order data. The Customer service will work with customer data.

One customer can have multiple orders, which has a one-to-many relationship. As both tables are in a single database, a one-to-many relationship can be established.

The Order service and Customer service, though running in separate containers, can access the tables from the same database. This will leverage proper transactions with ACID properties, where customer data is updated. Order data can also be updated to guarantee proper atomicity.

The are some limitations to this approach, however. A shared database is not recommended in a microservices-based approach, because, if there is a change in one data model, then other services are also impacted.

As part of microservices best practices, each microservice should have its own database.

The Order microservice access the Order database and the Customer microservice access the Customer database.

In this scenario, the relationships among the tables cannot be established, as both tables are in separate databases.

If the Customer microservice wants to update the Order data, the Customer microservice can pass teh customer id as a request parameter to the HTTP service of the Order microservice to update the Order data for the corresponding customer id in the Order database, as shown in below diagram.

The limitation of this approach is that transaction management cannot be properly handled. If customer data is deleted, the corresponding order also has to be deleted for that customer.

Though this can be achieved with workarounds, like calling a delete service in the Order service, atomicity is not achievable in a straight forward way. This needs to be handled with customization.

To overcome this limitation, we can integrate an event-driven architecture with our microservices components.

As per the below diagram, any change in the customer data will be published as an event to the messaging system, so that the event consumer consumes the data and updates the order data for the given customer changed event.

The limitation of this approach is the atomic updates between the database and publish events to the message queue cannot be handled easily. Though these types of transactions can be handled by distributed transaction management, this is not recommended in a microservices approach, as there might not be support for XA transactions in all scenarios.

To avoid these limitations, event-sourcing can be introduced in this microservices architecture.

In event-sourcing, any event triggered will be stored in an event store. There is no update or delete operations on the data, and every event generated will be stored as a record in the database. If there is a failure in the transaction, the failure event is added as a record in the database. Each record entry will be an atomic operation.

The advantages of event-sourcing are as follows:

• Solves atomicity issues.
• Maintains history and audit of records.
• Can be integrated with data analytics as historical records are maintained.

There are a few limitations, which are:

• Queries on the latest data or a particular piece of data in the event store involve complex handlings.
• To make the data eventually consistent, this involves asynchronous operations because the data flow integrates with messaging systems.
• The model that involves inserting and querying the data is the same and might lead to complexity in the model for mapping with the event store.
• The event store capacity has to be larger in storing all the history of records.

Now we integrate CQRS (Command Query Responsibility Segregation) with event sourcing to overcome the above limitations.

CQRS is another design pattern used in microservices architecture which will have a separate service, model, and database for insert operations in the database. This acts as a command layer and separate service, model, and database for query data that acts as a query layer.

The read database can store a denormalized model where databases like NoSQL (that are horizontally scalable) can be leveraged.

The command layer is used for inserting data into a data store. The query layer is used for querying data from the data store.

In the Customer microservice, when used as a command model, any event change in customer data, like a customer name being added or a customer address being updated, will generate events and publish to the messaging queue. This will also log events in the database in parallel.

Th event published in the message queue will be consumed by the event consumer and update the data in the read storage.

The Customer microservice, when used as a query model, needs to retrieve customer data that invokes a query service, which gets data from read storage.

Similarly, events published across microservices also have to be passed through a message queue. 

The advantages of CQRS integrated with event sourcing and microservices are:

• Leveraging microservices for modularity with separate databases.
• Leveraging event sourcing for handling atomic operations.
• Maintain historical/audit data for analytics with the implementation of event sourcing.
• CQRS having separate models and services for read and insert operations.
• Request load can be distributed between read and insert operations.
• Read operations can be faster as the load is distributed between read and insert services.
• Read model or DTO need not have all the fields as a command model, and a read model can have required fields by the client view which can save the capacity of the read store.

The limitations of this approach are:

• Additonal maintenance of infrastructure, like having separate databases for command and query requests.
• Models should be designed in an optimal way, or this will lead to complexity in handling and troubleshooting.

Hello folks, if you have heard about SAGA pattern and CQRS patter in Microservice world and wondering what are they and when to use them then you are at the right place. Difference between SAGA and CQRS Pattern is one of the common question on Java interviews.

Both SAGA Pattern and CQRS are both popular patterns used in microservices architecture, but they serve different purposes.

The main difference between SAGA and CQRS is that SAGA focuses on the transactional consistency of the system while CQRS focuses on the scalability and performance of the system but there are much more to learn about them which you will find in this article.

In the past, I have mentioned about SAGA Pattern when I shared 50 Microservice Interview Questions for beginners and experienced developers and 10 essential Microservice design principles and in this article,In this article, I will share the difference between two and when to use SAGA and CQRS pattern in Microservices.

What is SAGA Pattern in Microservice Architecture?

The SAGA pattern is used to manage transactions across multiple services. It ensures that each service involved in a transaction commits or rolls back its part of the transaction, even if other services fail.

For example, in an e-commerce application when a user initiates an online purchase, and this involves multiple services like payment processing, order management, and shipping.

The SAGA pattern can be used to ensure that if any of these services fail, the transaction is rolled back, and the user’s money is refunded.

What is CQRS Pattern in Microservices? What Problem does it Solve?

The CQRS (Command Query Responsibility Segregation) pattern is used to separate the read and write operations of an application into different models. It allows for different models to be optimized for their respective tasks.

For example, consider a banking application where users can view their account balance, transaction history, and make transfers. The read operations (like view account balance) can be optimized for high availability and low latency, while the write operations (e.g., make a transfer) can be optimized for data consistency and accuracy.

By separating the read and write operations, we can choose the appropriate storage and processing mechanisms for each.

Here is how a CQRS pattern look like in Microservice architecture:

In summary, SAGA and CQRS are two different design patterns used in microservices architecture.

SAGA is used to manage transactions across multiple services, while CQRS is used to separate the read and write operations of an application into different models.

Difference between SAGA and CQRS Design Pattern in Microservice Architecture?

Now that you know the basic difference between SAGA and CQRS Pattern let’s see more difference between them. Sure, here is a tabular comparison between SAGA and CQRS patterns in microservices:

1. What problem they solve?

SAGA is a pattern used for managing a sequence of distributed transactions, where each transaction updates data in multiple services, while CQRS is a pattern that separates the read and write operations in a system, using separate models for each.

2. Functionality

SAGA is used to ensure data consistency across multiple microservices when a business transaction requires updates to multiple services, while CQRS pattern is used to improve system scalability, performance, and availability by separating read and write operations and optimizing each separately.

3. Working

SAGA coordinates transactions using a series of compensating transactions that roll back changes made by the previous transaction if an error occurs. On the other hand, CQRS uses a different model for read and write operations. The write model is optimized for data modification, while the read model is optimized for querying and data retrieval.

4. Consistency vs Scalabiity

SAGA is a solution for maintaining data consistency in a distributed system, where data is spread across multiple services. On the other hand, CQRS is a solution for scaling up a system by separating read and write operations and using different models for each.

5. Complexity

SAGA Pattern can be complex to implement and manage, as it involves coordinating multiple transactions across multiple services., while CQRS can simplify the management of complex systems by separating the read and write operations and using optimized models for each.

6. When to use?

SAGA pattern is best suited for scenarios where multiple microservices need to be updated as part of a single business transaction. While CQRS is best suited for scenarios where read and write operations are heavily used and need to be optimized separately.

SAGA pattern is typically used in systems that require strong transactional consistency, such as financial systems, while CQRS pattern is used in systems that require high scalability and performance, such as social media platforms.

7. Implementation

SAGA pattern can be implemented using either the choreography or orchestration approach, while CQRS pattern is typically implemented using event sourcing.

In this article, we are going to talk about Design Patterns of Microservices architecture which is The Saga Pattern. As you know that we learned practices and patterns and add them into our design toolbox. And we will use these pattern and practices when designing e-commerce microservice architecture.

By the end of the article, you will learn where and when to apply Saga Pattern into Microservices Distributed Architecture with designing e-commerce application system.

Step by Step Design Architectures w/ Course

I have just published a new course — Design Microservices Architecture with Patterns & Principles.

In this course, we’re going to learn how to Design Microservices Architecture with using Design Patterns, Principles and the Best Practices. We will start with designing Monolithic to Event-Driven Microservices step by step and together using the right architecture design patterns and techniques.

Saga Pattern for Distributed Transactions

The saga design pattern is provide to manage data consistency across microservices in distributed transaction cases. Basically, saga patterns offers to create a set of transactions that update microservices sequentially,
and publish events to trigger the next transaction for the next microservices.

If one of the step is failed, than saga patterns trigger to rollback transactions which is basically do reverse operations with publishing rollback events to previous microservices.

By this way it is manage Distributed Transactions across microservices.
As you know that its used some principles inside of the Saga pattern like publish/subscribe pattern with brokers or API Composition patterns.

The SAGA pattern is especially useful in distributed systems, where multiple microservices need to coordinate their actions. In the context of distributed transactions, the SAGA pattern can help ensure that the overall transaction is either completed successfully, or is rolled back to its initial state if any individual microservice encounters an error.

The saga pattern provides transaction management with using a sequence of local transactions of microservices. Every microservices has its own database and it can able to manage local transaction in atomic way with strict consistency.

So saga pattern grouping these local transactions and sequentially invoking one by one. Each local transaction updates the database and publishes an event to trigger the next local transaction.

If one of the step is failed, than saga patterns trigger to rollback transactions that are a set of compensating transactions that rollback the changes on previous microservices and restore data consistency.

There are two type of saga implementation ways, These are “choreography” and “orchestration”.

Let me explain Choreography way of Saga pattern.

Choreography Saga Pattern

Choreography provides to coordinate sagas with applying publish-subscribe principles. With choreography, each microservices run its own local transaction and publishes events to message broker system and that trigger local transactions in other microservices.

This way is good for simple workflows if they don’t require too much microservices transaction steps.

But if Saga Workflow steps increase, then it can become confusing and hard to manage transaction between saga microservices. Also Choreography way decouple direct dependency of microservices when managing transactions.

Orchestration Saga Pattern

Another Saga way is Orchestration. Orchestration provides to coordinate sagas with a centralized controller microservice. This centralized controller microservice, orchestrate the saga workflow and invoke to execute local microservices transactions in sequentially.
The orchestrator microservices execute saga transaction and manage them in centralized way and if one of the step is failed, then executes rollback steps with compensating transactions.

Orchestration way is good for complex workflows which includes lots of steps. But this makes single point-of-failure with centralized controller microservices and need implementation of complex steps.

Rollback of Saga Pattern

To use the SAGA pattern in a distributed transaction, we can use a compensating transaction to undo the changes made by each microservice in the event of an error. This way, we can ensure that the overall transaction is either completed successfully, or is rolled back to its initial state. Here is an example of how the SAGA pattern could be used in an e-commerce order fulfillment process to handle a rollback scenario:

1. The customer places an order on the e-commerce website and provides their payment information.

2.The website’s order fulfillment microservice begins a local transaction and sends a request to the inventory microservice, asking it to reserve the items in the customer’s order.

3.The inventory microservice begins a local transaction and reserves the items in the customer’s order.

4.The inventory microservice sends a response back to the order fulfillment microservice, indicating that the items were reserved successfully.

5. The order fulfillment microservice receives the response from the inventory microservice and, assuming everything went as planned, it charges the customer’s payment method and commits its own local transaction.

However, if any errors are encountered along the way, the SAGA pattern provides a way to roll back the changes made by each microservice. For example, if the inventory microservice encountered an error while reserving the items in the customer’s order, it could send a failure response back to the order fulfillment microservice. In this case, the order fulfillment microservice would then execute a compensating transaction to undo the charges to the customer’s payment method and cancel the order, effectively rolling back the entire fulfillment process.

The below image shows a failed transaction with the Saga pattern.

The Update Inventory operation has failed in the Inventory microservice. So when it failed to one step, The Saga invokes a set of compensating transactions to rollback the inventory operations, cancel the payment and the order, and return the data for each microservice back to a consistent state.

We should careful about when using saga pattern in distributed microservices architecture. If our use case required data consistency across several microservices, and required rollback when one of the step is failed, than we should use Saga pattern.

As a result, SAGA pattern is a powerful tool for managing distributed transactions in a microservice architecture. By using compensating transactions, the SAGA pattern allows us to ensure that the overall transaction is either completed successfully, or is rolled back to its initial state if any errors are encountered. This can help us build more resilient and reliable distributed systems.

By the end of the article, you will learn where and when to apply CQRS Design Pattern into Microservices Architecture with designing e-commerce application system.

Step by Step Design Architectures w/ Course

I have just published a new course — Design Microservices Architecture with Patterns & Principles.

In this course, we’re going to learn how to Design Microservices Architecture with using Design Patterns, Principles and the Best Practices. We will start with designing Monolithic to Event-Driven Microservices step by step and together using the right architecture design patterns and techniques.

CQRS Design Pattern

CQRS is one of the important pattern when querying between microservices. We can use CQRS design pattern in order to avoid complex queries to get rid of inefficient joins. CQRS stands for Command and Query Responsibility Segregation. Basically this pattern separates read and update operations for a database.

Normally, in monolithic applications, most of time we have 1 database and this database should respond both query and update operations. That means a database is both working for complex join queries, and also perform CRUD operations. But if the application goes more complex this query and crud operations will be also is going to be un-manageable situation.

In example of reading database, if your application required some query that needs to join more than 10 table, this will lock the database due to latency of query computation. Also if we give example of writing database, when performing crud operations we would need to make complex validations and process long business logics, so this will cause to lock database operations.

So reading and writing database has different approaches that we can define different strategy to handle that operation. In order to that CQRS offers to use “separation of concerns” principles and separate reading database and the writing database with 2 database. By this way we can even use different database for reading and writing database types like using no-sql for reading and using relational database for crud operations.

Another consideration is we should understand our application use case behaviors, if our application is mostly reading use cases and not writing so much, we can say our application is read-incentive application. So we should design our architecture as per our reading requirements with focusing reading databases.

So we can say that CQRS separates reads and writes into different databases, Commands performs update data, Queries performs read data.

Commands should be actions with task-based operations like “add item into shopping cart” or “checkout order”. So commands can be handle with message broker systems that provide to process commands in async way.

Queries is never modify the database. Queries always return the JSON data with DTO objects. By this way, we can isolate the Commands and Queries.

In order isolate Commands and Queries, its best practices to separate read and write database with 2 database physically. By this way, if our application is read-intensive that means reading more than writing, we can define custom data schema to optimized for queries.

Materialized view pattern is good example to implement reading databases. Because by this way we can avoid complex joins and mappings with pre defined fine-grained data for query operations.

By this isolation, we can even use different database for reading and writing database types like using no-sql document database for reading and using relational database for crud operations.

Instagram Database Architecture

This is so popular on microservices architecture also let me give an example of Instagram architecture. Instagram basically uses two database systems, one is relational database PostgreSQL and the other is no-sql database — Cassandra.

So that means Instagram uses no-sql Cassandra database for user stories that is read-incentive data. And using relational PostgreSQL database for User Information bio update. This is one of the example of CRQS approaches.

How to Sync Databases with CQRS ?

But when we separate read and write databases in 2 different database, the main consideration is sync these two database in a proper way.

So we should sync these 2 databases and keep sync always.

This can be solve by using Event-Driven Architecture. According to Event Driven Architecture, when something update in write database, it will publish an update event with using message broker systems and this will consume by the read database and sync data according to latest changes.

But this solution creates a consistency issue, because since we have implemented async communication with message brokers, the data would not be reflected immediately.

This will operates the principle of “eventual consistency”. The read database eventually synchronizes with the write database, and it can be take some time to update read database in the async process. We discuss eventual consistency in the next sections.

So if we come back to our read and write databases in CQRS pattern, When starting your design, you can take read database from replicas of write database. By this way we can use different read-only replicas with applying Materialized view pattern can significantly increase query performance.

Also when we separated read and write databases, it means we can scale them independently. That means if our application is read-incentive, I mean if it much more query that write, than we can scale only reading databases very fast.

CQRS comes with separating commands and query databases. So this required to sync both 2 databases with offering event-driven architectures. And with Event-driven architectures there are some new patterns and practices should be consider when applying CQRS.

Event Sourcing pattern is the first pattern we should consider to use with CQRS. Mostly CQRS is using with “Event Sourcing pattern” in Event-Driven Architectures. So after we have learned the CQRS we should learn “Event Sourcing pattern”, because CQRS and “Event Sourcing pattern” is the best practice to use both of them.

Design the Architecture — CQRS, Event Sourcing, Eventual Consistency, Materialized View

We are going to Design our e-commerce Architecture with applying CQRS Pattern.

Now We can Design our Ordering microservices databases

I am going to split 2 databases for Ordering microservices
1 for the write database for relational concerns
2 for the read database for querying concerns

So when user create or update an order, I am going to use relational write database, and when user query order or order history, I am going to use no-sql read database. and make consistent them when syncing 2 databases with using message broker system with applying publish/subscribe pattern.

Now we can consider tech stack of these databases,

I am going to use SQL Server for relational writing database, and using Cassandra for no-sql read database. Of course we will use Kafka for syncing these 2 database with pub/sub Kafka topic exchanges.

So we should evolve our architecture with applying other Microservices Data Patterns in order to accommodate business adaptations faster time-to-market and handle larger requests.

Step by Step Design Architectures w/ Course

I have just published a new course — Design Microservices Architecture with Patterns & Principles.

In this course, we’re going to learn how to Design Microservices Architecture with using Design Patterns, Principles and the Best Practices. We will start with designing Monolithic to Event-Driven Microservices step by step and together using the right architecture design patterns and techniques.

 

 

AngulAR -------

 

How Angular compiles and its performance?

The application can be compiled using two following commands:-

1.   ng-serve

2.   ng-build

The ng-serve and ng-build commands provide the development build by default and bundle all the files to a single file.

The similarities between these two commands are:-

·        Both the commands compile the application and produce the development build by default. In this stage, compiled files don't have any optimization done by it.

·        Both the commands do the bundling of all the files present to the single file. Bundling is the process of combining all the files into a single file. It produces 5 types of bundled javascript files and the source map files by default. These files are embedded in an index.html file loaded by the browser.

The files which get generated are:-

·        Inline.bundle.js:- It contains the script that is responsible for the webpack to run.

·        polyfills.bundle.js:- It contains the script responsible for making the application compatible with all the browsers.

·        main.bundle.js:- It contains the code present in the application.

·        styles.bundle.js:- It contains the styles used by the application.

·        Vendor.bundle.js:- It contains the angular and includes 3rd party libraries.

The differences between the two commands are:-

·        ng-serve:- It compiles and runs the application from memory and is used for the development process. It doesn't write any files to the build folder. So, It can't be deployed to another server.

·        Ng-build:- It compiles and produces the build files to an external folder. As a result, this created folder(build) is deployed in any external server. The name of the build folder is decided by the value of the outputPath property present in the build section of the angular.json file.

What are the types of Compilation and its description?

It provides two modes of compilation:-

·        AOT(Ahead Of Time) Compilation

·        JIT(Just In Time) Compilation

Until Angular 8, the default compilation mode was JIT, but from angular 9, the default compilation is AOT. When we do ng serve, it depends on the value of aot passed in the angular.json file.

JIT

The JIT mode compiles the application in the application's runtime. The browser downloads the compiler along with the project files. The compiler is about 45% of the vendor.bundle.js file loaded in the browser.

The disadvantages of the JIT compiler is that:-

·        It increases the application size due to the compiler in the browser, which affects the overall application's performance.

·        The user has to wait for the compiler to load first and then the application. Thus, it increases the load time.

·        Also, the template binding errors are not shown in the build time.

AOT Compilation

In AOT compilation, the compilation is done during the build process, and the compiled files are processed are bundled in the vendor. bundle.js file, which gets downloaded by the browser. The compilation is during the build time, so the size decreases by 50%.

The major advantages of the AOT compilation are:-

·        The application's rendering becomes faster as the browser downloads only the pre-compiled version of the application.

·        The application has a small download size because it doesn't include the compiler with itself, as the compiler takes half of the actual size of the application.

·        Also, the template binding errors were detected during the build time of the application. Hence, it helps to fail fast and makes the development process easy.

Why Performance Optimization is necessary?

It has now become the widely used framework to build business applications. The usage or the popularity of any application depends on its performance. The faster and reliable the application is, its usage and customer satisfaction are more.

According to research, if the application's load time is more than 3 seconds, the user tends to drift away from the application and switch to different competitive applications. And this can be a big loss to the business.

Sometimes, the developer in the application's rapid development doesn't take care of the performance issues and follows terrible practices, which leads to poor performance. So, the optimization of any application is necessary, which improves the application's load time and increases performance.

How to solve performance optimization issue?

The performance of any application plays a vital role in the growth of the business. As it is a high-performing front-end framework, we face challenges optimizing the performance. The major performance issues are the decline in traffic, decrement in engagement, high bounce rate, and crashing of applications in high usage.

The performance of any application can only be optimized by knowing the exact reason or identifying the issue for degradation of the performance. Some of the problems faced by the application are:-

·        Unnecessary server usage

·        Slow page response

·        Unexpected errors due to a real-time data stream

·        Periodic slowdown

These problems can be solved using proper techniques. Also, we should ensure that we have followed the best coding practices and clean code architecture. We (In Xenonstack) have improved the application's performance by following this.

Few other solutions to optimize the performance issues would be:-

·        Removing the unnecessary change detection in the app slows down the application.

·        Adding the onPush at required places.

·        Reducing the computation on the template side.

Let's move ahead and focus on the more detailed optimization techniques.

Methods of performance optimization techniques

The framework does its job well to provide the best performance. But, if we want to develop a large-scale application, we need to deal with many other factors. A few popular methods or techniques help us optimize the application better.

So, Let's start by going through the few methods in detail. These are a few essential hacks that can help us significantly alleviate the performance.

Using AoT Compilation

As we know that it provides two types of compilation:-

·        JIT(Just-in-time)

·        AoT(Ahead-of-time)

We also looked at the compilation's working in the above section. Afterward 8 version provides the AoT compilation, which increases the performance. Because the JIT compiles the application in the runtime. Also, the JIT compilation bundles the compiler with itself, which increases the size of the bundler. Also, it increases the rendering time of the component.

But with the AoT compilation compiles the application in the build time, produces only the compiled templates, and doesn't include the compiler. So, the bundle size decreases, and rendering time increases significantly. So, We should always use AoT compilation for our applications.

Using OnPush Change Detection Strategy

Before deep-diving into the concept of change detection strategy, it is essential to know what change detection is. Change detection is the process by which angular updates the DOM.

The change detection in the angular application looks something like the below diagram. It detects the changes in the application within the tree of components. It starts by checking the component's root, then children and their grandchildren. The only change in component B makes the change detection run all over the components, as shown below.

In the case of Reference type, i.e., objects, whenever some changes occur, Angular checks each property of the object to check if any property value has changed or not and updates the DOM accordingly. So, this affects the performance of the application.

This can be controlled and fixed using the OnPush detection strategy. It tells Angular not to check each component every time any change detection occurs.

The OnPush strategy makes our component smarter. It calls current component change detection only when the @input bindings change. It only runs change detection for descendant components. So, this helps to improve the performance of the application.

After applying OnPush change detection to Component B and C, once the change detection happens on component B, it triggers the tree's root to the bottom. And root component changes the input property of B. So, using the OnPush change detection method significantly changes the application's performance.

Using Pure Pipes

In Angular, pipes transform the data to a different format. E.g., the:- 'date | short date converts the date to a shorter format like 'dd/MM/yyyy.' Pipes are divided into two categories:-

·        Impure pipe

·        Pure Pipe

The impure pipe is those pipes that produce different results for the same input over time. The pure pipes are the pipes that produce the same result for the same input. It has few built-in pipes which are pure. When it comes to binding evaluation, angular each time evaluates the expression and applies the pipe over it(if it exists). The Angular applies a nice optimization technique: the 'transform' method, which is only called if the reference of the value it transforms is changed or if one of the arguments changes. It caches the value for the specific binding and uses that when it gets the same value. It is similar to memorization. We can also implement the memorization of our own. It can be implemented like this

Unsubscribe from Observables

Ignoring minor things in the development of the application can lead us to significant setbacks like memory leaks. Memory leaks occur when our application fails to eliminate the resources that are not being used anymore. Observables have the subscribe method, which we call with a callback function to get the values emitted. Subscribing to the observables creates an open stream, and it is not closed until they are closed using the unsubscribe method. Such as global declaration of variables creates unnecessary memory leaks and does not unsubscribe observables.

So, It is always a good practice to unsubscribe from the observables using the onDestroy lifecycle hook, So when we can leave the component, all the used observables are unsubscribed.

Lazy Loading

The enterprise application built using angular contains many feature modules. All these modules are not required to be loaded at once by the client. With large enterprise applications, the size of the application increases significantly with time, and it also increases the bundle size.

Once the bundle size increases, the performance goes down exponentially because every KB extra on the main bundle contribute to slower:-

·        Download

·        Parsing

·        JS Execution

This can be solved using lazy loading. Lazy Loading is loading only the necessary modules at the initial load. This not only reduces the bundle size but also decreases the load time. Other modules are only loaded when the user navigates to the created routes. This increases the application load time by a great deal.

Use trackBy option for For Loop

It uses *ngFor directive to loop over the items and display them on the DOM(by adding or removing the elements). If it is not used with caution, it may damage its performance.

Suppose we have the functionality of adding and removing the employees asynchronously. For example, if we have a large object containing the list of all the employees with the name and email address, we need to iterate over the list and display the data on the UI. Then for each addition and removing of data, the angular change detection runs and sees if the object has some new value. If it finds, it destroys the previous DOM and recreates the DOM for each item again.

This has a huge impact on performance as rendering DOM is expensive. So, to fix this trackBy function is used. It keeps track of all the changes and only updates the changed values.

Avoid computation in template files

The Template expressions are the most commonly used things in Angular. We often need a few calculations on the data we get from the backend. To achieve that, we use functions on the template.

The bound function runs when the CD(change detection) runs on the component. The function also needs to complete before the change detection and other codes move on.

If a function takes a long time to finish, it will result in a slow and laggy UI experience for users because it will stop other UI codes from running. It needs to be completed before the other code executes. So, It is must be needed that template expressions finish quickly. If highly computational, it should be moved to the great components file and the calculation beforehand.

Usage of Web Workers

As we know that JS is a single-threaded language. This means that it can only run on the main thread. JS running in the browser context is called the DOM thread. When any new script loads in the browser, a DOM thread is created where the JS engine loads, parses, and executes the JS files on the page. If our application performs any such task that includes heavy computation at startup, like calculating and rendering the graphs, it increases the application's load time and we know that when any application takes >3 secs to load, the user switches to another application. Also, it leads to a horrible user experience.

So, In such cases, we can use Web Workers. It creates a new thread called the worker thread that runs the script file parallel to the DOM thread. The worker thread runs in a different environment with no DOM APIs, so it has no reference to the DOM.
So, using web workers to perform heavy computation and the DOM thread for light tasks helps us achieve greater efficiency and decreased load time.

The primary goal of performance tuning is to find bad parts /bottlenecks of code and to improve a bad parts/bottlenecks of codes. Click to explore about, Performance Tuning Tools and Working Architecture

Conclusion

The performance and the load time play an essential role in any business. This post showed how using the right compilation methods and techniques can improve the application's performance. We saw how using change detection, lazy loading, and web workers helped us achieve great performance. Before using any of the above techniques, we must first understand the reason behind the lagging performance. So, the right approach will help us to achieve our goal.

What Are Microservices Architecture?

Microservices architecture is an approach to dividing an application into many Small services .

 

But Microservices is smaller services, each running in its own process and communicating with lightweight mechanisms

 

 such as HTTP, AMQP, or XMPP.

These services can be developed and deployed independently of each other. This makes them easier to manage and maintain.

These independent services can be written in any programming language and can use any combination of technologies.

Moreover, microservices have their own data model and can manage their own database.

 The different programming languages commonly used for microservices are Java, Node.js, and Go,C#

Containers make it easy to deploy your services to different environments

 

 

 These advantages include

 faster performance, easier scalability, and easier code reuse.

 However, microservices architecture also has a number of disadvantages,

 including more complex development and deployment and higher implementation costs

Microservices Design Patterns:

• Aggregator
• API Gateway
• Chained or Chain of Responsibility
• Asynchronous Messaging
• Database or Shared Data
• Event Sourcing
• Branch
• Command Query Responsibility Segregator
• Circuit Breaker
• Decomposition

Microservice architecture has become the de facto choice for modern application development. Though it solves certain problems, it is not a silver bullet. It has several drawbacks and when using this architecture, there are numerous issues that must be addressed. This brings about the need to learn common patterns in these problems and solve them with reusable solutions. Thus, design patterns for microservices need to be discussed. Before we dive into the design patterns, we need to understand on what principles microservice architecture has been built:

1. Scalability
2. Availability
3. Resiliency
4. Independent, autonomous
5. Decentralized governance
6. Failure isolation
7. Auto-Provisioning
8. Continuous delivery through DevOps

Applying all these principles brings several challenges and issues. Let's discuss those problems and their solutions.

1. Decomposition Patterns

a. Decompose by Business Capability

Problem

Microservices is all about making services loosely coupled, applying the single responsibility principle. However, breaking an application into smaller pieces has to be done logically. How do we decompose an application into small services?

Solution

One strategy is to decompose by business capability. A business capability is something that a business does in order to generate value. The set of capabilities for a given business depend on the type of business. For example, the capabilities of an insurance company typically include sales, marketing, underwriting, claims processing, billing, compliance, etc. Each business capability can be thought of as a service, except it’s business-oriented rather than technical.

b. Decompose by Subdomain

Problem

Decomposing an application using business capabilities might be a good start, but you will come across so-called "God Classes" which will not be easy to decompose. These classes will be common among multiple services. For example, the Order class will be used in Order Management, Order Taking, Order Delivery, etc. How do we decompose them?

Solution

For the "God Classes" issue, DDD (Domain-Driven Design) comes to the rescue. It uses subdomains and bounded context concepts to solve this problem. DDD breaks the whole domain model created for the enterprise into subdomains. Each subdomain will have a model, and the scope of that model will be called the bounded context. Each microservice will be developed around the bounded context.

Note: Identifying subdomains is not an easy task. It requires an understanding of the business. Like business capabilities, subdomains are identified by analyzing the business and its organizational structure and identifying the different areas of expertise.

c. Strangler Pattern

Problem

So far, the design patterns we talked about were decomposing applications for greenfield, but 80% of the work we do is with brownfield applications, which are big, monolithic applications. Applying all the above design patterns to them will be difficult because breaking them into smaller pieces at the same time it's being used live is a big task.

 Solution

The Strangler pattern comes to the rescue. The Strangler pattern is based on an analogy to a vine that strangles a tree that it’s wrapped around. This solution works well with web applications, where a call goes back and forth, and for each URI call, a service can be broken into different domains and hosted as separate services. The idea is to do it one domain at a time. This creates two separate applications that live side by side in the same URI space. Eventually, the newly refactored application “strangles” or replaces the original application until finally you can shut off the monolithic application.

2. Integration Patterns

a. API Gateway Pattern

Problem

When an application is broken down to smaller microservices, there are a few concerns that need to be addressed:

1.     How to call multiple microservices abstracting producer information.

2.     On different channels (like desktop, mobile, and tablets), apps need different data to respond for the same backend service, as the UI might be different.

3.     Different consumers might need a different format of the responses from reusable microservices. Who will do the data transformation or field manipulation?

4.     How to handle different type of Protocols some of which might not be supported by producer microservice.

 Solution

An API Gateway helps to address many concerns raised by microservice implementation, not limited to the ones above.

1.     An API Gateway is the single point of entry for any microservice call.

2.     It can work as a proxy service to route a request to the concerned microservice, abstracting the producer details.

3.     It can fan out a request to multiple services and aggregate the results to send back to the consumer.

4.     One-size-fits-all APIs cannot solve all the consumer's requirements; this solution can create a fine-grained API for each specific type of client.

5.     It can also convert the protocol request (e.g. AMQP) to another protocol (e.g. HTTP) and vice versa so that the producer and consumer can handle it.

6.     It can also offload the authentication/authorization responsibility of the microservice.

b. Aggregator Pattern

Problem

We have talked about resolving the aggregating data problem in the API Gateway Pattern. However, we will talk about it here holistically. When breaking the business functionality into several smaller logical pieces of code, it becomes necessary to think about how to collaborate the data returned by each service. This responsibility cannot be left with the consumer, as then it might need to understand the internal implementation of the producer application.

 Solution

The Aggregator pattern helps to address this. It talks about how we can aggregate the data from different services and then send the final response to the consumer. This can be done in two ways:

1. A composite microservice will make calls to all the required microservices, consolidate the data, and transform the data before sending back.

2. An API Gateway can also partition the request to multiple microservices and aggregate the data before sending it to the consumer.

It is recommended if any business logic is to be applied, then choose a composite microservice. Otherwise, the API Gateway is the established solution.

c. Client-Side UI Composition Pattern

Problem

When services are developed by decomposing business capabilities/subdomains, the services responsible for user experience have to pull data from several microservices. In the monolithic world, there used to be only one call from the UI to a backend service to retrieve all data and refresh/submit the UI page. However, now it won't be the same. We need to understand how to do it.

 Solution

With microservices, the UI has to be designed as a skeleton with multiple sections/regions of the screen/page. Each section will make a call to an individual backend microservice to pull the data. That is called composing UI components specific to service. Frameworks like AngularJS and ReactJS help to do that easily. These screens are known as Single Page Applications (SPA). This enables the app to refresh a particular region of the screen instead of the whole page.

3. Database Patterns

a. Database per Service

Problem

There is a problem of how to define database architecture for microservices. Following are the concerns to be addressed:

1. Services must be loosely coupled. They can be developed, deployed, and scaled independently.

2. Business transactions may enforce invariants that span multiple services.

3. Some business transactions need to query data that is owned by multiple services.

4. Databases must sometimes be replicated and sharded in order to scale.

5. Different services have different data storage requirements.

Solution

To solve the above concerns, one database per microservice must be designed; it must be private to that service only. It should be accessed by the microservice API only. It cannot be accessed by other services directly. For example, for relational databases, we can use private-tables-per-service, schema-per-service, or database-server-per-service. Each microservice should have a separate database id so that separate access can be given to put up a barrier and prevent it from using other service tables.

b. Shared Database per Service

Problem

We have talked about one database per service being ideal for microservices, but that is possible when the application is greenfield and to be developed with DDD. But if the application is a monolith and trying to break into microservices, denormalization is not that easy. What is the suitable architecture in that case?

Solution

A shared database per service is not ideal, but that is the working solution for the above scenario. Most people consider this an anti-pattern for microservices, but for brownfield applications, this is a good start to break the application into smaller logical pieces. This should not be applied for greenfield applications. In this pattern, one database can be aligned with more than one microservice, but it has to be restricted to 2-3 maximum, otherwise scaling, autonomy, and independence will be challenging to execute.

c. Command Query Responsibility Segregation (CQRS)

Problem

Once we implement database-per-service, there is a requirement to query, which requires joint data from multiple services — it's not possible. Then, how do we implement queries in microservice architecture?

 Solution

CQRS suggests splitting the application into two parts — the command side and the query side. The command side handles the Create, Update, and Delete requests. The query side handles the query part by using the materialized views. The event sourcing pattern is generally used along with it to create events for any data change. Materialized views are kept updated by subscribing to the stream of events.

d. Saga Pattern

Problem

When each service has its own database and a business transaction spans multiple services, how do we ensure data consistency across services? For example, for an e-commerce application where customers have a credit limit, the application must ensure that a new order will not exceed the customer’s credit limit. Since Orders and Customers are in different databases, the application cannot simply use a local ACID transaction.

Solution

A Saga represents a high-level business process that consists of several sub requests, which each update data within a single service. Each request has a compensating request that is executed when the request fails. It can be implemented in two ways:

1.     Choreography — When there is no central coordination, each service produces and listens to another service’s events and decides if an action should be taken or not.

2.     Orchestration — An orchestrator (object) takes responsibility for a saga’s decision making and sequencing business logic.

4. Observability Patterns

a. Log Aggregation

Problem

Consider a use case where an application consists of multiple service instances that are running on multiple machines. Requests often span multiple service instances. Each service instance generates a log file in a standardized format. How can we understand the application behavior through logs for a particular request?

 Solution

We need a centralized logging service that aggregates logs from each service instance. Users can search and analyze the logs. They can configure alerts that are triggered when certain messages appear in the logs. For example, PCF does have Loggeregator, which collects logs from each component (router, controller, diego, etc...) of the PCF platform along with applications. AWS Cloud Watch also does the same.

b. Performance Metrics

Problem

When the service portfolio increases due to microservice architecture, it becomes critical to keep a watch on the transactions so that patterns can be monitored and alerts sent when an issue happens. How should we collect metrics to monitor application perfomance?

Solution

A metrics service is required to gather statistics about individual operations. It should aggregate the metrics of an application service, which provides reporting and alerting. There are two models for aggregating metrics:

·        Push — the service pushes metrics to the metrics service e.g. NewRelic, AppDynamics

·        Pull — the metrics services pulls metrics from the service e.g. Prometheus

c. Distributed Tracing

 Problem

In microservice architecture, requests often span multiple services. Each service handles a request by performing one or more operations across multiple services. Then, how do we trace a request end-to-end to troubleshoot the problem?

Solution

We need a service which

·        Assigns each external request a unique external request id.

·        Passes the external request id to all services.

·        Includes the external request id in all log messages.

·        Records information (e.g. start time, end time) about the requests and operations performed when handling an external request in a centralized service.

Spring Cloud Slueth, along with Zipkin server, is a common implementation.

d. Health Check

Problem

When microservice architecture has been implemented, there is a chance that a service might be up but not able to handle transactions. In that case, how do you ensure a request doesn't go to those failed instances? With a load balancing pattern implementation.

Solution

Each service needs to have an endpoint which can be used to check the health of the application, such as /health. This API should o check the status of the host, the connection to other services/infrastructure, and any specific logic.

Spring Boot Actuator does implement a /health endpoint and the implementation can be customized, as well.

5. Cross-Cutting Concern Patterns

a. External Configuration

Problem

A service typically calls other services and databases as well. For each environment like dev, QA, UAT, prod, the endpoint URL or some configuration properties might be different. A change in any of those properties might require a re-build and re-deploy of the service. How do we avoid code modification for configuration changes?

Solution

Externalize all the configuration, including endpoint URLs and credentials. The application should load them either at startup or on the fly.

Spring Cloud config server provides the option to externalize the properties to GitHub and load them as environment properties. These can be accessed by the application on startup or can be refreshed without a server restart.

b. Service Discovery Pattern

Problem

When microservices come into the picture, we need to address a few issues in terms of calling services:

1.     With container technology, IP addresses are dynamically allocated to the service instances. Every time the address changes, a consumer service can break and need manual changes.

2.     Each service URL has to be remembered by the consumer and become tightly coupled.

So how does the consumer or router know all the available service instances and locations?

Solution

A service registry needs to be created which will keep the metadata of each producer service. A service instance should register to the registry when starting and should de-register when shutting down. The consumer or router should query the registry and find out the location of the service. The registry also needs to do a health check of the producer service to ensure that only working instances of the services are available to be consumed through it. There are two types of service discovery: client-side and server-side. An example of client-side discovery is Netflix Eureka and an example of server-side discovery is AWS ALB.

c. Circuit Breaker Pattern

Problem

A service generally calls other services to retrieve data, and there is the chance that the downstream service may be down. There are two problems with this: first, the request will keep going to the down service, exhausting network resources and slowing performance. Second, the user experience will be bad and unpredictable. How do we avoid cascading service failures and handle failures gracefully?

Solution

The consumer should invoke a remote service via a proxy that behaves in a similar fashion to an electrical circuit breaker. When the number of consecutive failures crosses a threshold, the circuit breaker trips, and for the duration of a timeout period, all attempts to invoke the remote service will fail immediately. After the timeout expires the circuit breaker allows a limited number of test requests to pass through. If those requests succeed, the circuit breaker resumes normal operation. Otherwise, if there is a failure, the timeout period begins again.

Netflix Hystrix is a good implementation of the circuit breaker pattern. It also helps you to define a fallback mechanism which can be used when the circuit breaker trips. That provides a better user experience.

d. Blue-Green Deployment Pattern

 Problem

With microservice architecture, one application can have many microservices. If we stop all the services then deploy an enhanced version, the downtime will be huge and can impact the business. Also, the rollback will be a nightmare. How do we avoid or reduce downtime of the services during deployment?

Solution

The blue-green deployment strategy can be implemented to reduce or remove downtime. It achieves this by running two identical production environments, Blue and Green. Let's assume Green is the existing live instance and Blue is the new version of the application. At any time, only one of the environments is live, with the live environment serving all production traffic. All cloud platforms provide options for implementing a blue-green deployment. For more details on this topic, check out this article.

There are many other patterns used with microservice architecture, like Sidecar, Chained Microservice, Branch Microservice, Event Sourcing Pattern, Continuous Delivery Patterns, and more. The list keeps growing as we get more experience with microservices. I am stopping now to hear back from you on what microservice patterns you are using.

                    }

                }

            }

            return instance;

        }

    }

}

============  

Singleton and static are two different concepts used in software development:

1.     Singleton: The Singleton pattern ensures that only one instance of a class can be created and provides a global point of access to that instance. It is typically used when there should be a single, shared instance of a class throughout the application. The Singleton pattern involves creating a class with a private constructor, a static method to retrieve the instance, and a static field to hold the single instance. The instance is lazily initialized and only created when the first request for it is made.

2.     Static: Static members (fields, properties, methods, etc.) belong to the class itself rather than an instance of the class. They are shared among all instances of the class and can be accessed directly through the class name without creating an instance. Static members are typically used for utility methods, constants, or shared data that is independent of instance-specific state. Static members are initialized once and remain in memory for the lifetime of the application.

Key differences between Singleton and static:

·        Object Creation: Singleton allows the creation of a single instance of a class, whereas static members are not associated with instance creation and are available without creating an object.

·        Accessibility: Singleton provides an instance that can be accessed through a public property or method, while static members are directly accessible without the need for an instance.

·        Multiple Instances: Singleton allows for only one instance of the class, whereas static members are shared across all instances of the class.

·        Initialization: Singleton instance is typically lazily initialized when it is first accessed, while static members are initialized at the time of the class being loaded or when they are first accessed.

·        Flexibility: Singleton allows for more flexibility in managing the single instance and its lifecycle, whereas static members are less flexible and can't be easily changed or replaced.

In summary, the Singleton pattern is used to ensure a single instance of a class and provides a way to access that instance, while static members are shared among all instances of a class and can be accessed directly without creating an instance. The choice between Singleton and static depends on the specific requirements and design of your application.

 

===================Abstract vs Interces ===

Abstract classes and interfaces are both used in object-oriented programming to define contracts and provide abstraction. However, there are some key differences between them:

Abstract Class:

·        An abstract class is a class that cannot be instantiated and is typically used as a base class for other classes.

·        It may contain both abstract and non-abstract (concrete) methods and can have fields, properties, and constructors.

·        An abstract method is a method without an implementation, which must be overridden by the derived classes.

·        It can provide a partial implementation of the functionality and allow derived classes to extend or specialize it.

·        A class can inherit from only one abstract class, meaning it supports single inheritance.

Interface:

·        An interface is a contract that defines a set of methods and properties that a class must implement.

·        It does not contain any implementation details, only method signatures, properties, events, and indexers.

·        All members in an interface are implicitly public and abstract, and they do not have access modifiers.

·        A class can implement multiple interfaces, allowing for multiple inheritance of behavior.

·        Interfaces are useful when you want to define common behavior for unrelated classes or when you need to support polymorphism across different class hierarchies.

In summary, abstract classes provide a way to define common behavior and provide partial implementation, while interfaces define contracts for classes to implement without specifying any implementation details. Abstract classes support single inheritance, while interfaces allow for multiple inheritance of behavior. The choice between using an abstract class or an interface depends on the specific design requirements and the relationship between the classes in your application.

 

 

The choice between using an abstract class and an interface depends on the specific requirements and design of your application. Here are some guidelines to consider:

Use an Abstract Class When:

1.     You want to provide a common base implementation or default behavior for a group of related classes.

2.     You need to define common fields, properties, or non-abstract methods that can be inherited by derived classes.

3.     You want to enforce certain methods to be overridden by derived classes using abstract methods.

4.     You have a requirement for single inheritance, as a class can inherit from only one abstract class.

Use an Interface When:

1.     You want to define a contract that specifies a set of methods, properties, events, or indexers that a class must implement.

2.     You need to support polymorphism across unrelated classes or different class hierarchies.

3.     You want to allow a class to inherit behavior from multiple interfaces, as multiple interface implementation is supported in C#.

4.     You want to provide a lightweight mechanism for implementing common behavior without providing any implementation details.

In general, interfaces are more suitable when you want to define contracts for unrelated classes or support polymorphism across different class hierarchies. Abstract classes, on the other hand, are useful when you want to provide common behavior, partial implementation, or when you have a group of related classes that need to inherit from a common base class.

It's worth noting that in some cases, a combination of abstract classes and interfaces can be used together to achieve a desired design. For example, an abstract class can implement one or more interfaces and provide default implementations for certain methods, while leaving others as abstract for derived classes to implement.

Ultimately, the decision between using an abstract class or an interface depends on the specific needs and goals of your application's architecture and design

 

======SOLID===

SOLID is an acronym that represents a set of design principles in object-oriented programming. These principles aim to make software systems more maintainable, scalable, and robust. The SOLID principles were introduced by Robert C. Martin (also known as Uncle Bob) and have become widely accepted guidelines for software development. Let's explore each principle:

1.     Single Responsibility Principle (SRP):

·        A class should have only one reason to change.

·        Each class should have a single responsibility or purpose.

·        It promotes high cohesion and reduces coupling between classes.

2.     Open-Closed Principle (OCP):

·        Software entities (classes, modules, functions) should be open for extension but closed for modification.

·        New functionality should be added by extending existing code rather than modifying it.

·        It promotes code reusability and maintains existing code stability.

3.     Liskov Substitution Principle (LSP):

·        Subtypes (derived classes) must be substitutable for their base types (parent classes).

·        Objects of derived classes should be able to replace objects of their base classes without causing issues.

·        It ensures that the behavior of the base class is preserved in the derived classes.

4.     Interface Segregation Principle (ISP):

·        Clients should not be forced to depend on interfaces they do not use.

·        It encourages the segregation of interfaces into smaller, more focused interfaces.

·        It prevents the creation of "fat" interfaces and minimizes dependencies.

5.     Dependency Inversion Principle (DIP):

·        High-level modules should not depend on low-level modules; both should depend on abstractions.

·        Abstractions should not depend on details; details should depend on abstractions.

·        It promotes loose coupling and facilitates easier testing, maintainability, and extensibility.

By adhering to these SOLID principles, software developers can create code that is modular, flexible, and easier to maintain. Applying these principles leads to better separation of concerns, improved code reusability, and enhanced testability, ultimately resulting in more robust and scalable software systems.

 

Certainly! Let's consider an example using the Liskov Substitution Principle (LSP) with the concept of fruit, specifically oranges and apples.

 

Suppose we have a base class called `Fruit`, which defines common properties and behavior for any fruit. It has a method called `GetColor()` that returns the color of the fruit. Here's an example implementation:

 

```csharp

public abstract class Fruit

{

    public abstract string GetColor();

}

```

 

Now, let's define two derived classes: `Orange` and `Apple`, which inherit from the `Fruit` class.

 

```csharp

public class Orange : Fruit

{

    public override string GetColor()

    {

        return "Orange";

    }

}

 

public class Apple : Fruit

{

    public override string GetColor()

    {

        return "Red";

    }

}

```

 

According to the LSP, instances of the derived classes (`Orange` and `Apple`) should be able to replace instances of the base class (`Fruit`) without affecting the behavior of the program.

 

Let's demonstrate this principle by writing a method that accepts an instance of `Fruit` and invokes the `GetColor()` method:

 

```csharp

public class FruitManager

{

    public void PrintColor(Fruit fruit)

    {

        Console.WriteLine(fruit.GetColor());

    }

}

```

 

Now, we can use the `FruitManager` class to print the colors of different fruits:

 

```csharp

FruitManager manager = new FruitManager();

Fruit orange = new Orange();

Fruit apple = new Apple();

 

manager.PrintColor(orange);  // Output: Orange

manager.PrintColor(apple);   // Output: Red

```

 

In this example, both the `Orange` and `Apple` classes can be substituted for the `Fruit` class without any issues. The `PrintColor()` method expects a `Fruit` object, and we can pass instances of both `Orange` and `Apple` to it, resulting in the correct behavior.

 

By adhering to the Liskov Substitution Principle, we ensure that the derived classes (`Orange` and `Apple`) can be used interchangeably with the base class (`Fruit`), providing the expected behavior while preserving the integrity of the program
