In my previous blog post, I talked about Catch-Up Subscriptions in-comparison to Persistent Subscriptions in Event Store. I’ve been meaning to create a little demo as I didn’t find very much in my limited searching. Specifically, I wanted to create a console app that would contain the subscription client  and another console app (event writer) that would write events to a stream. This way you could run the subscription client multiple times, then run the event writer and see how the events are only received from one subscription client.

A worker process would subscribe to the $all event stream and handle incoming messages accordingly. The issue is that catch… Read More »Event Store Persistent Subscriptions

Gzip Compression with NancyFX

Compressing I’ve basically taken Simon’s code and added it to a new class that implements IApplicationStartup. There are a few checks that occur before compressing the output. Does the incoming request accept header contain gzip? Is the outgoing HTTP… Read More »Gzip Compression with NancyFX
