Pros and cons of different ways of storing Enum values in the database

Lately, I was experimenting with Dapper for the first time. During these experiments, I've found one interesting and unexpected behavior of Dapper for me. I've created a regular model with string and int fields, nothing special. But then I needed to add an enum field in the model. Nothing special here, right? Long story short, after editing my model and saving it to the database what did I found out? By default Dapper stores enums as integer values in the database (MySql in my case, can be different for other databases)! What? It was a surprise for me! (I was using ServiceStack OrmLite for years and this ORM by default set's enums to strings in database) Before I've always stored enum values as a string in my databases! After this story, I decided to analyze all pros and cons I can imagine of these two different ways of storing enums. Let's see if I will be able to find the best option here.

Caching strategies

One of the easiest and most popular ways to increase system performance is to use caching. When we introduce caching, we automatically duplicate our data. It's very important to keep your cache and data source in sync (more or less, depends on the requirements of your system) whenever changes occur in the system. In this article, we will go through the most common cache synchronization strategies, their advantages, and disadvantages, and also popular use cases.

Starting with Docker and ASP.NET Core

I love the .NET world. But for me, it always felt strange that you can run your code only inside Windows ecosystem. But now, with .NET Core, you can develop and run .NET application on Linux. Now you can use all the benefits of the Linux platform. One of such benefits is the ability to use Docker natively. Now all major cloud services offer direct Docker containers deploy. It means you shouldn't worry about dependencies and software versions - everything is inside your container . That's why I decided to learn about Docker and share it with you here. In this tutorial, you will learn what are ASP.NET Core and Docker, and how to use them together. ASP.NET Core What is ASP.NET Core? Microsoft defines ASP.NET Core as: ASP.NET Core is a cross-platform, high-performance, open-source framework for building modern, cloud-based, Internet-connected applications. What about .NET Core? NET Core is a framework that supports ASP.NET. It is a cross-platform, open-sourc
