Commands Feature
Looking into how to utilize Commands to build more robust and observable systems
This episode focuses on the new Commands Feature in ServiceStack which provides a structured approach to implementing internal logic for improved code reusability, testability, observability, and robustness. It allows developers to separate logic into independent units called Commands, which can be executed in managed background threads.
This architecture fosters temporal decoupling, allowing asynchronous execution of commands and handling of errors with greater efficiency and resilience. The Commands Admin UI offers a comprehensive overview of command execution, including summary statistics, recent executions, and error logs.
The integration of the Commands Feature with the Background MQ enables scalable execution of commands, particularly valuable for working with server-side SQLite databases which have limitations on concurrent writes.
