Event metadata archiving, Amazon SQS queus and CloudWatch metrics pull requests, Blake speaks at code camp #

  • This week we added a setting in Exceptionless for disabling the archiving of event metadata
  • For Foundatio, a new pull request was made for Amazon SQS queues and CloudWatch metrics. We've done a lot of work to queues and the message buses to make the constructors have options classes that get passed in. We've also done a lot of work to the Azure implementations to try and optimize them and fix bugs.
  • Lastly, Blake spoke at Northeast Wisconsin Code Camp over the weekend on exception driven development. The slides can be found here.
