Open source for software developers
At 3bits, a large part of the development we do is based on open source. Some of the open source projects we actively use are nopCommerce, React and .NET.
Why we work with Elasticsearch
When you build e-commerce solutions with large amounts of products that also have a lot of text and properties that you want to be able to search among, then the requirements for the search engine you choose increase. To be able to provide lightning-fast and good search results to the customer, a high-performance and scalable search engine is required as a foundation of the solution. One solution we have chosen in several major customer projects is Elasticsearch.
Single Page Application - for a faster site
With a SPA application, new possibilities open up to further speed up the response time and save processing power on the server. Single Page Application or SPA as we call it in everyday life, is really nothing new. Most people use it every day on, for example, Facebook, Instagram or Gmail. In e-commerce, however, it has not made an impact on a broad front yet and it is mainly in the slightly larger retailers that you find the exceptions.

O'Reilly Software Architecture Conference in London
Microservices is an architectonic concept that unlike the classical way to build a large-scale application that does it all, instead uses small components that does parts of a larger process. Microservices is in the center of events right now, and it was noticable at O’Reilly Software Architecture Conference in London.

In the beginning of June it was time for NDC in Oslo. It was three full days with many inspiring and interesting sessions. Since NDC started in Oslo in 2008, it has rapidly become one of Europe’s largest conferences in .NET and agile development.
The Latest in.NET Development at VS Live Part 1
VS Live is a travelling conference in a regular basis providing a mix of sessions in web development, most in the Microsoft world, but not exclusively. Some of the sessions are about news and upcoming things, and others how to write code well, and what to have in mind when you as a developer come across problems.
Our Experience in Integrations with NServiceBus
The reason that we started to work with NServiceBus a few years ago, it that we always have pretty demanding integrations in e-commerce systems where real time in combination with disconnection between different systems is important for the customer experience as well as the demand for up time and stability. The advantages we have seen with NServiceBus is the simplicity in getting the basic structure to work, and instead the focus can be on design of the messages, and mapping of these to respective system.
