Test Corvus-generated AsyncAPI producers and consumers without a running broker - unit test handler logic with typed payloads, verify producer output with message capture, and integration test the full publish-consume round-trip using InMemoryMessageTransport.

Generate producers and consumers for only the channels you need - use channel filtering, tag selection, and the asyncapi-show preview command to carve focused messaging code from large AsyncAPI specifications.

Configure durable message delivery for Corvus-generated AsyncAPI consumers - Kafka consumer groups, AMQP acknowledgement, NATS JetStream, MQTT persistent sessions, and Azure Service Bus PeekLock settlement.

Add observability to Corvus-generated AsyncAPI producers and consumers - OpenTelemetry distributed tracing, message throughput metrics, processing loop heartbeats, and ASP.NET Core health checks for transport connectivity.

Generate typed request/reply methods from AsyncAPI specs with Corvus - correlated messaging with zero-allocation correlation IDs, typed response payloads, timeout management, and support for both AsyncAPI 3.0 reply objects and 2.6 x-corvus-reply extensions.

Generate typed message consumers from AsyncAPI specs with Corvus - handler interfaces with pre-validated payloads, configurable error policies, dead-letter routing, and Polly resilience middleware.

Generate strongly-typed message producers from AsyncAPI specs using the Corvus CLI - validated payloads, channel address templates, and pluggable transports for NATS, Kafka, AMQP, MQTT, and Azure Service Bus.

Test Corvus-generated OpenAPI code at every level - unit test handler logic in isolation with typed params, integration test the full round-trip with WebApplicationFactory, and verify client behaviour with in-memory transports.

Generate code for only the endpoints you need - use path filtering and the openapi-show preview command to carve focused, domain-specific clients and server stubs from large OpenAPI specifications.

Generate typed webhook receivers and senders from OpenAPI specs with Corvus - callback server stubs for receiving notifications, callback clients for sending them, runtime expression resolution, and linked operations for hypermedia-style API navigation.

Rx.NET 7.0 is now available, with the potential to reduce deployable application size by up to 90MB.

Corvus generates per-operation OAuth2 scope constants from your OpenAPI spec - use them with standard .NET DelegatingHandler middleware and Azure.Identity for type-safe authentication without proprietary frameworks.

Generate typed streaming responses from OpenAPI specs with Corvus - SSE and NDJSON on the server with writer callbacks, IAsyncEnumerable on the client with pooled typed documents and automatic frame parsing.

Wire a Corvus-generated OpenAPI client to a generated server over real HTTP - both sides validated against the same spec, with generated OAuth2 scope constants for type-safe authentication.

Generate ASP.NET Core server stubs from OpenAPI specs with Corvus - handler interfaces with pre-validated parameters, typed result factories, and automatic Problem Details responses for invalid requests.

Generate strongly-typed HTTP clients from OpenAPI 3.x specs using the Corvus CLI - zero-allocation models, exhaustive response matching, and built-in schema validation with a single dotnet tool command.

Star schema vs flat table vs header/detail - which Power BI model design gives you the best performance? This post compares all three and covers practical testing tips.

Workspace topology is one of the first decisions you'll make in Microsoft Fabric, and one of the hardest to undo once you're underway. This post will help you start with the right foundations in place.

Relationships in Power BI aren't free. This post explains how the cardinality of the relationship key determines traversal cost, and why this has big implications for model design.

Column cardinality is one of the biggest factors in Power BI model size and query speed. This post explains why, and covers practical techniques for reducing it.

Migrating from V4 to V5 is straightforward with Roslyn analyzers and code fixes. V4 isn't going away - both engines are maintained. Plus: 10 production analyzers to help you write correct, high-performance code.

Corvus.Text.Json.Toon provides bidirectional TOON conversion - a compact text format that removes repeated property names and punctuation from JSON, reducing token count for LLM prompts with zero-allocation UTF-8 APIs.

V5 extends the JSON type system with UTF-8 URI and IRI parsing, arbitrary-precision numerics via BigNumber, and first-class NodaTime date/time integration. All operating directly on the raw UTF-8 bytes.

Corvus.Text.Json V5 includes Utf8JsonPointer, a readonly ref struct that resolves RFC 6901 JSON Pointer paths directly against the pooled-memory document model with no allocation.
