PostgreSQL, or Postgres, is a relational database management system that provides an implementation of the SQL querying language. It’s standards-compliant and has many advanced features like reliable transactions and concurrency without read locks.

This guide demonstrates how to quickly get Postgres up and running on an Ubuntu 20.04 server, from installing PostgreSQL to setting up a new user and database. If you’d prefer a more in-depth tutorial on installing and managing a PostgreSQL database, see How To Install and Use PostgreSQL on Ubuntu 20.04.

Moq is a mocking library for .NET Unit Testing (cue the TDD folks reminding us mocks are unnecessary), and it is by far the most widely used mocking library in .NET (475 million downloads vs 87 million for the next largest, NSubstitute). Yesterday, its author released version 4.20.1; which added nagware and a backdoor to Moq, in a bid to drive up paid usages of Moq through ‘Sponsorships’. 

WinML is a high-performance, reliable API for deploying hardware-accelerated ML (Machine Learning) inferences on Windows devices. Since its introduction, many developers started using this technology to develop UWP applications that leverage artificial intelligence. Throughout this blog post, we’ll understand how you can leverage WinML on a simple .NET5 Console app. 

Why Serilog? It is easy to set up, has a clean API, and is portable between recent .NET platforms. The big difference between Serilog and the other frameworks is that it is designed to do structured logging out of the box. Another thing I really like about Serilog is that it can be configured via the appsetting.json file alongside configuring through code. Changing logging configuration without touching the codebase is really helpful, especially in the production environment. 

In this section we'll create a Blazor application to demonstrate the different lifetimes of the various dependency injection scopes.
