How fast are my services? Comparing basicHttpBinding and ws2007HttpBinding using the SO-Aware Test Workbench
When working on real world WCF solutions, we become pretty aware of the performance implications of the binding and behavior configuration of WCF services. However, whether it’s a known fact the different binding and behavior configurations have direct reflections on the performance of WCF services, developers often struggle to figure out the real performance behavior of the services. We can attribute this to the lack of tools for correctly testing the performance characteristics of WCF services under different load profiles. As sad as this sound, the fact of the matter is that the existing web service load test tools in the market can barely test anything other than the basicHttpBinding.

Announcing SO-Aware Test Workbench
Yesterday was a big day for Tellago Studios. After a few months hands down working, we announced the release of the SO-Aware Test Workbench tool which brings sophisticated performance testing and test visualization capabilities to theWCF world. This work has been the result of the feedback received by many of our SO-Aware and Tellago customers in terms of how to improve the WCF testing. More importantly, with the SO-Aware Test Workbench we are trying to address what has been one of the biggest challenges for WCF and BizTalk applications for years: LOAD TESTING!

Agile SOA Governance: SO-Aware and Visual Studio Integration
One of the major limitations of traditional SOA governance platforms is the lack of integration as part of the development process. Tools like HP-Systinet or SOA Software are designed to operate by models on which the architects dictate the governance procedures and policies and the rest of the team members follow along. Consequently, those procedures are frequently rejected by developers and testers given that they can’t incorporate it as part of their daily activities.

Tellago & Tellago Studios at Microsoft TechReady
This week Microsoft is hosting the first edition of their annual TechReady conference. Even though TechReady is an internal conference, Microsoft invited us to present a not one but two sessions about some our recent work. We are particularly proud of the fact that one of those sessions is about our SO-Aware service registry. We see this as a recognition to the growing popularity of SO-Aware as the best Agile SOA governance solution in the Microsoft platform.

Tellago Devlabs: A RESTful API for BizTalk Server Business Rules
Tellago DevLabs keeps growing as the primary example of our commitment to open source! Today, we are very happy to announce the availability of the BizTalk Business Rules Data Service API which extends our existing BizTalk Data Services solution with an OData API for the BizTalk Server Business Rules engine. Tellago’s Vishal Mody led the implementation of this version of the API with some input from other members of our technical staff.

Using a service registry that doesn’t suck Part III: Service testing is part of SOA governance
This is the third post of this series intended to highlight some of the principles of modern SOA governance solution. You can read the first two parts here:
-
Using Google Protocol Buffers Hypermedia Type with WCF RESTful Services: A media type processor sample
Protocol Buffers is language neutral format for serializing structured data in a very optimal format. You can think about protocol buffers as XML or JSON but lighter and smaller. This format its widely used at Google to exchange data between different systems.

We are hiring (take a minute to read this, is not another BS talk ;) )
I really wanted to wait until our new website was out to blog about this but I hope you can put up with the ugly website for a few more days J.

Using a service registry that doesn’t suck part II: Dear registry, do you have to be a message broker?
Continuing our series of posts about service registry patterns that suck, we decided to address one of the most common techniques that Service Oriented (SOA) governance tools use to enforce policies.

Tellago 2011: Dwight, Chris and Don are MVPs
It’s been a great start of 2011. Tellago’s Dwight Goins has been awarded as a Microsoft BizTalk Server MVP for 2011. I’ve always said that Dwight should have been an MVP a long time ago. His contributions to the BizTalk Server community are nothing but remarkable.
