At my current client, we have been dealing with an ongoing problem while scaling their cloud systems to the ever increasing customer-base. As it is with any software that needs to scale, we’ve been seeing and solving scalability problems along the way. Anyone who has ever dealt with scaling a system to accommodate a lot of concurrent users, knows that issues will be showing up places you aren’t expecting.

I had come across a similar need a few years back, but remembered that it was cumbersome in ASP.NET 3-5, to achieve this, and the solutions back then didn’t feel right.

Like most other developers, I run into problems and find solutions to those problems, but I am not sharing that knowledge with the world, which is a shame. Through my career I have functioned as a tutor and then later a teacher at the local academy, but I often find myself in mentoring positions, such as the one I am in now. I currently work as a Senior Software Consultant, and one of my many duties, is...
