O/C mapper (Object to Cloud). Leverage
Windows Azure without getting dragged down by low level technicalities.
Strong typed put/get on the blob storage:
IBlobStorageProvider storage = ... ; // init snipped
CustomerBlobName name = ... ; // init snipped
var customer = storage.GetBlob(name); // strong type retrieved
Strong typed enumeration of the blob storage:
foreach(var name in storage.List(CustomerBlobName.Prefix(country))
{
var customer = storage.GetBlob(name); // strong type, no cast!
// do something with 'customer', snipped
}
Scalable services with implicit queue processing:
[QueueServiceSettings(AutoStart = true, QueueName = "ping")]
public class PingPongService : QueueService<double>
{
protected override void Start(double x)
{
var y = x * x; // 'x' has been retrieved from queue 'ping'
Put(y, "pong"); // 'y' has been put in queue named 'pong'
}
}
Key orientations
- Strong typing.
- Scalable by design.
