Caring much about the performance of my code, this blog post is a continuation of my serial about performance optimization of Episerver solutions. This time I reveal eight common issues affecting performance, along with suggested solutions to each. Some of those issues are actually very common across projects and developers.
Caching is great! Caching can make a slow site fast, and a fast site blazingly fast. But how to cache custom objects that rely on Episerver content, in a way that is simple, safe and performant way?
Enabling long term caching of static frontend files is good for the performance of both servers and browsers. However, to instantly force a re-download of files following a new release, cache busting solution is needed. This is an update to my original cache busting solution and blog post. It is more lean and efficient and supports ASP.Net Core, too.
I were recently tasked with creating code to render PDF files containing Arabic words using PdfSharp. Unfortunately, PdfSharp does not support Arabic or other right-to-left languages. Here is the workaround I made up.
I was missing some features and scalability from the built-in InRiver iPMC extension log. Therefore I did an integration that demonstrates how to log events, exceptions and metrics to Azure Application Insights (using it as a supplementary log service).
