Episode 9: Running ASP.NET Core Applications Using Systemd and Ansible

A web application isn't much use if it isn't running. We hand in our neckbeard cards and copy+paste our way out of the problem. Last episode, we configured NGINX to act as a reverse proxy for our Asp.Net Core application. We tested our setup by manually running the .Net Core app from an SSH session. Today we'll fix that stop-gap step by running our application as a service with systemd. We'll add the new service by running a few tasks in Ansible.

Why Cloud Cost Optimization is Ready to Shift Left (Just like Security Did)

Today, you probably wouldn’t blink at the idea of involving security in your development process.

Over the past few months, we published a number of articles showing how to snap desktop applications written in different languages – Rust, Java, C/C++, and others. In each one of these zero-to-hero guides, we went through a representative snapcraft.yaml file and highlighted the specific bits and pieces developers need to successfully build a snap. Today, we want to diverge from this journey and focus on the server side of things.
