Google Sheets vs. Microsoft Excel: Which is better?

Google Sheets and Microsoft Excel are both excellent spreadsheet applications.
Both applications offer functions and formulas, conditional formatting, data validation, and other basic tools you would expect.
Google Sheets is a web-based application with a mobile version, while Microsoft Excel is a desktop application with a mobile and web version.
Excel offers additional data features, such as goal seeking, scenario managers, and creating forecast sheets, coupled with the ability to use slicers or timelines for advanced filtering.
Google Sheets has a good collection of easy-to-use graphs and charts that can be customized and saved as an image outside of your sheet.
Excel has a much larger selection of charts and more customization options, in addition to allowing you to create chart templates for reuse and save charts outside of your spreadsheet.
Google Sheets wins when it comes to collaboration, with real-time communications, seamless sharing, and robust collaboration tools.
Google Sheets is a free application, while Microsoft Excel has a one-time upfront cost or monthly subscription plans with Microsoft 365.
There are differences between the two applications when it comes to speed, data limitations, and storage.
Other spreadsheet platforms include Airtable, Apple Numbers, and more.

Event-Driven Microservices in .NET 8 Using Azure Service Bus

Microservices in .NET enable faster development rates, better fault tolerance, and easier maintenance. In this architecture, services communicate by publishing and subscribing to events, creating a loosely coupled and asynchronous communication model. A key component of this approach is event-driven microservices.
Azure Service Bus is a fully managed message broker that facilitates reliable, asynchronous communication between applications and services, making it perfect for event-driven microservices. Azure Cognitive Services can be integrated with microservices to enhance them with AI capabilities such as language understanding and computer vision.
.NET 8 introduces several improvements for building microservices in .NET, like enhanced performance optimizations, and it supports high-performing, event-driven microservices that meet modern application demands. Adopting an event-driven architecture offers several advantages like scalability, resilience, and faster development cycles.
Event-driven microservices are the software architecture style where independent services communicate through events representing state changes within the system. Incorporating event-driven microservices into a microservices architecture improves modularity by enabling services to react to events generated by other components.
In the microservices architecture, Azure Service Bus enables asynchronous message exchange, allowing components to operate independently. Key features of Azure Service Bus for microservices communication include messaging patterns, reliable message delivery, high throughput, scalability, advanced security features, and protocol support.
Microservices architecture in .NET 8 allows developers to design applications as independent services, each focusing on specific business capabilities. Key improvements in.NET 8 include performance enhancements, enhanced containerization support, unified programming model, and built-in observability tools. Best practices for building scalable microservices include designing for failure, asynchronous communication, using API gateways, and adopting CI/CD pipelines.
The combination of Azure Service Bus and microservices in .NET 8 can achieve reliable, scalable communication across distributed services, enhancing the overall performance and resilience of microservices architecture. Key considerations include error handling, retries and dead-letter queues, performance optimization tips, and handling message queues and events efficiently.
Implementing event-driven microservices with Azure Service Bus in .NET 8 microservices offers benefits like decoupled communication, asynchronous processing, and reliable messaging. Using Azure Service Bus with .NET 8, your business can create scalable, high-performance microservices that seamlessly integrate with the broader Azure ecosystem.
Azure Service Bus enables reliable communication between microservices by decoupling services, ensuring that messages are delivered even when systems are offline. ViitorCloud can help integrate Azure Service Bus into your existing .NET 8 microservices architecture to leverage the full potential of event-driven microservices. We tailor solutions to optimize system performance, enhance scalability, and ensure reliability, aligned with your business goals.
FAQs answered in the article include how event-driven microservices work, how Azure Service Bus enhances microservices architecture, why choose .NET 8 for microservices, how scalable Azure service bus is, and if ViitorCloud can integrate Azure Service Bus into ones’ existing .NET 8 microservices architecture.
