App fabric introduction
Microsoft AppFabric provides services for building and managing composite applications at scale, including workflows, caching, and hosting services. It allows sharing of data and workflows across machines. Windows Server AppFabric provides service and workflow management capabilities while Azure AppFabric focuses on access control and a service bus in the cloud. The presentation discussed architectural choices using these technologies like caching sessions, hosting services, and a real-world example architecture integrating caching, hosting, and messaging.

- 29. What is AppFabricCaching? • An explicit, distributed, in-memory application cache for all kinds of data (CLR objects, XML, Binary data, etc.) – Flows "memory" across machines into a unified cache Clients can be spread across machines or processes Unified Cache View Clients Access the Cache as if it was a large single cache Cache Layer distributes data across the various cache nodes

- 31. Why Velocity? * Sharedata across applications No more sticky routing * Peformance Operation Read 2k MSDN Forums Throughput Latency 30,000 / sec 3 – 4 ms Write 2k 18,000 / sec 5 Velocity Servers, 40GB Cache 98% of all calls to database come from cache Result is from 60% load on SQL Server, down to 2% * Scale out 3 ms Operation Throughput Read 2k 1 30,000 / sec Read 2k 2 58, 600 / sec Read 2k Velocity Servers 3 85, 500 / sec

- 33. Working with Velocity //Create instance of CacheFactory, which reads app.config DataCacheFactory factory = new DataCacheFactory(); // Get a named cache from the factory DataCache cache = factory.GetCache("default"); // Cache.Put(string key, object value) cache.Add("SDN", new SDNSession()); // Cache.Get(string key); var meeting = (SDNSession)cache.Get("SDN"); // Via indexers is also an option cache["what"] = new Object(); Object o = cache["what"];
- 34. Tags var starWarsTag =new DataCacheTag("StarWars"); var tags = new List<DataCacheTag>(); tags.Add(starWarsTag); tags.Add(new DataCacheTag("Force")); tags.Add(new DataCacheTag("Sith")); cache.Add("MyKey", "A New Hope", tags, "StarWarsRegion"); var result = cache.GetObjectsByTag(starWarsTag, "StarWarsRegion"); foreach (var item in result) { Console.WriteLine("{0} has value of {1}", item.Key, item.Value); }
- 35. Optimistic locking DataCacheItemVersion versionWillChange; DataCacheItemVersionversionWithError; // First get the current version 2 times cache.Get("MyKey", out versionWillChange); cache.Get("MyKey", out versionWithError); // We change the key, version hasn't changed in Velocity yet. cache.Put("MyKey", "MyNewValue", versionWillChange); // Version has changed with previous update, this will #fail cache.Put("MyKey", "MyErrorValue", versionWithError);
- 36. Pessimistic locking DataCacheLockHandle lockHandle= null; DataCacheLockHandle secondLockHandle = null; // Lock our object cache.GetAndLock("MyKey", new TimeSpan(0, 0, 10), out lockHandle); // This will still work string result = (string)cache.Get("MyKey"); // Try to lock for 2nd time -> #fail cache.GetAndLock("MyKey", new TimeSpan(0, 0, 10), out secondLockHandle); // This will break the lock!!! cache.Put("MyKey", "MyNewValue");
- 37. Notification callback DataCacheOperation filter= DataCacheOperation.AddItem; cache.AddItemLevelCallback("MyKey", filter, callback); cache.AddRegionLevelCallback("Region", filter, callback); cache.AddFailureNotificationCallback(failCallback); cache.Add("MyKey", "MyInitialValue"); public static void callback (string myCacheName, string myRegion, string myKey, DataCacheItemVersion itemVersion, DataCacheOperation OperationId, DataCacheNotificationDescriptor nd) { //display some of the delegate parameters Console.WriteLine("Region : " + myRegion); Console.WriteLine("Key : " + myKey); }
- 38. ASP.NET Session integration •SessionStoreProvider class – Plugs into ASP.NET Session store – Stores session state in Velocity • Scale – Session information available at all ASP.NET Nodes • High availability – Session data is backed up on addditional machines – Resilient to machine or process failures
