Building Cloud Ready Apps, even if You’re Not in the Cloud Yet

Whether it’s public cloud, private cloud, or the rain clouds outside, a lot of folks are thinking about clouds. We’re in the middle of a huge industry shift to cloud hosting. Regardless of whether your company is in the cloud or still thinking about it, you can build applications that run well, regardless of where they are deployed.
In this talk, you’ll learn several design principals that will make your applications more portable. You’ll learn how to abstract your infrastructure dependencies, structure your configuration, and scale your applications. Even if you never move to the cloud, your apps will be cleaner and easier to run.

Building uniform and succinct Package Libraries using out-of-the-box tooling

Building Libraries for your organization can help reduce some of the code debt. However, how much configuration debt do you acquire, the more libraries you produce? Tapping into Microsoft Build Process, you can abstract away static properties, analyze your code quality, and enforce folder structure so that your CsProj Files only consist of configuration that's specific and unique. By creating DotNet templates, you can further ensure uniformity, to lessen the time of a development cycle, and by incorporating DotNet tools, you can create a build pipeline that's idempotent, no matter what CI/CD pipeline you use!
