Change Default Swagger Route in an ASP.Net Core Web Api

Introduction

Over the past few weeks I have been doing some work with ASP.Net Core Web Api project’s using swagger.  The setup was pretty standard until the api’s needed to be deployed to staging and production environments.  The web api’s are being hosted in docker containers behind a reverse proxy, the staging and production environments required a prefix route parameter for each api.  This meant that the default url’s for the controllers and swagger would need to include a route prefix.  To add a route prefix to swagger and swagger ui is a pretty quick code change.

Iterate Over the Results of an Azure SQL Stored Procedure in an Azure Logic App

Introduction

If you need to quickly create a business workflow or other B2B integration, look no further then Azure Logic Apps. Azure Logic Apps is a cloud based workflow and integration service. With the multitude of built in connectors you can easily automate many common business workflows. The Azure SQL Database connector and execute stored procedure action were of interest to me when I needed to implement an automated email notification. The output of a stored procedure from a source system would provide me a list of users who would receive reminder emails. Azure Logic Apps provides the capability of iterating over results of an action, however iterating over the results of a stored procedure is not as straight forward as some of the other examples. In this post I am going to use the automating email notifications example to illustrate what I needed to do to iterate over the results of a stored procedure.

Running an Azure Data Factory Pipeline on a Weekday Schedule Using an Azure Function

Introduction

I have written a few posts about different aspects of Azure Data Factory.  I use it as the main workhorse of my data integration and ETL projects.  One major drawback I have found with Azure Data Factory is the scheduling system, it’s not as flexible as I and many others would like it to be.  With that being said there are certainly ways to adapt and get more control of an Azure Data Factory pipeline execution.  In my post Starting an Azure Data Factory Pipeline from C# .Net, I outline the need to kick off a pipeline after a local job has completed and how this can be attained by utilizing the SDK to programmatically set the pipelines Start/End dates.  You may not have that requirement specifically, but let’s say you want to only run a pipeline during the weekday or another specific schedule, this can be accomplished by utilizing the same code from my prior post and scheduling a local console app.  However, I thought it would be more fun to utilize Azure Functions to kick off a pipeline on a weekday schedule to provide a fully cloud based solution.
