How I Used Indianapolis Pothole Data To Navigate My First SEP Hackathon

In March 2022, two senior SEP engineers and I built a Hackathon project together. In brief, the project aimed to give users a report ranking their routes to work based on the number of potholes they would encounter along the way. We had a great time, and were able to reach our goals. The project […]

Babbling on about BabylonJS

I recently had the opportunity to do some investigation / prototyping work on a website that needed to render interactive 3D models in mobile browsers. After some investigation on available technologies, I decided to give BabylonJS a try. BabylonJS has a comprehensive API, is well documented, and has an active support forum. On top of […]

How to Run Protractor End to End Tests in Microsoft Edge (Chromium)

Microsoft’s new version of Chromium-based Edge has been released. If you’re a Windows user, you might be excited or perhaps indifferent to have a new browser available to you.

SMART on FHIR: What is SMART? What is FHIR?

When creating an application that will be used by health care providers, a developer will often need to access data about a patient. This data is kept in Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems. As a developer, one of the main struggles of creating such an application is that EHRs are not guaranteed to follow the […]

Motivation My most recent side project, Contact, is a JSON REST API written with Elixir and Phoenix, designed to be the backend to an instant messaging application (e.g., Slack). There was a hackathon coming up at SEP, and I thought it’d be fun to make […]

Load Balancing with Nginx and Docker

The previous post showed how to use Nginx as a reverse proxy to an ASP.NET Core application running in a separate Docker container. This time, I’ll show how to use a similar configuration to spin up multiple application containers and use Nginx as a load balancer to spread traffic over them. Desired architecture The architecture […]

Nginx Reverse Proxy to ASP.NET Core – Separate Docker Containers

The previous blog post showed how to setup a reverse proxy between Nginx and an ASP.NET Core application. In that example, both Nginx and the Kestrel process ran in the same box. As alluded to, there is another (preferable) option. This time, we’ll create two separate containers: one for the application and one for the […]

Nginx Reverse Proxy to ASP.NET Core – Same Docker Container

As mentioned in the previous post, it is recommended to use something other than Kestrel as the front-line web server. In this example, I’m going to show how to use Nginx as a reverse proxy to the ASP.NET Core application. Reverse-proxy architecture options In terms of architecture setup for reverse proxying for ASP.NET Core in […]

Hosting the Node API in nginx with a reverse proxy

The Backbone application (coming in the next post in the series) will interact with the REST API using AJAX calls. Adding a reverse proxy allows those calls to work without browsers stopping the requests due to cross-site scripting (XSS) concerns and without setting up cross-origin resource sharing (CORS). Using nginx Nginx is used to setup […]
