Read Part 1: MediatR vs MassTransit Mediator - Differences

The MassTransit Mediator implementation is more powerful than MediatR implementation, but also more complicate to use. Unit Testing a MassTransit Consumer is not a nice experience.

In this article I will propose some techniques to simplify the MassTransit Consumer and to make them look as straight forward as a MediatR handler.

Case study

We will study a very common use case (the most common use case which I can think of):

Why mediator?

In a ASP.NET Web application. You don't need mediator

• If you prefers to make controlers depends directly to the Application Codes instead of indirectly via the Mediator.
• If you prefers to make a normal ASP.NET Web Application instead of a Mediator Application

Frankly it is not a Bad choice, no need to use a Mediator framework or make a Mediator Application just because everyone did.. Though, There are benefits in making a Mediator Application:

• Event sourcing (Messages broadcast), CQS pattern..
• Decouple the Controler (presentation) from Application codes, so that you could swap the presentation technology. For eg, if you make a "MassTransit" application, then you can swap the presentation layer to Mediator or RabbitMQ, or Grpc.. => you are not to be sticked with or limited by ASP.NET presentation => but rather sticked with and limited by your mediator framework!

A half-hour to learn Zig

This is inspired by https://fasterthanli.me/blog/2020/a-half-hour-to-learn-rust/

Basics

the command zig run my_code.zig will compile and immediately run your Zig program. Each of these cells contains a zig program that you can try to run (some of them contain compile-time errors that you can comment out to play with)

$ git checkout --orphan NEWBRANCH
$ git rm -rf .

--orphan creates a new branch, but it starts without any commit. After running the above command you are on a new branch "NEWBRANCH", and the first commit you create from this state will start a new history without any ancestry.

You can then start adding files and commit them and they will live in their own branch. If you take a look at the log, you will see that it is isolated from the original log.
