Feature Requests

← Customer Feedback for ServiceStack

Feature, docs and use-case samples requests for ServiceStack. If you can, focus on the end-user benefit / use-case, rather than the technical details so we can focus on the end-goal and free us to work on how best to achieve it. Features can also include supporting content, e.g. a starter project on how to use ServiceStack with another product (e.g. SS + SharePoint).

  1. OrmLite - per property Unicode strings

    I'm working with SQL Server tables that have a mixture of VARCHAR and NVARCHAR columns. Unless I'm mistaken OrmLite currently only supports enabling Unicode strings globally for a given connection. To workaround this constraint I've defined an additional named connection which is configured to UseUnicode, on a service-by-service basis I'm enabling the named connection using the ConnectionInfo attribute. However this means I have to be careful to ensure any db statements don't end up mixing VARCHAR and NVARCHARs - to avoid performance issues with suboptimal index usage.

    It would be helpful it properties on the data model could be annotated…

  2. KeyDb-Redis Support (A Multithreaded Fork of Redis That’s 5X Faster Than Redis)

    https://keydb.dev/

    KeyDB is a Faster, Drop-In Alternative to Redis

    KeyDB maintains full compatibility with Redis modules, API and protocol.
    Seamlessly drop in KeyDB and maintain full compatibility with your existing clients, scripts and configurations.

    I assume because KeyDb is billed as a "drop-in" replacement that this would be low hanging fruit to get ServiceStack.Redis to support Redis-KeyDb

  4. Postman v2 format support

    right now, you cannot import postman metadata exposed by SS into the latest version of Postman because its complaining about v1 schema and conversion requires an insane amount of npm garbage to be installed.

    any chance of adding v2 postman metadata, or links to v1 and 2?

  5. Support certificate-based authentication to Redis servers.

    Redis supports a certificate-based authentication scheme as well as the legacy password and more recent user + password schemes. Cloud providers such as RedisLabs as well as self-hosted and Docker-based Redis servers also support this method of authentication.

    This should be added to ServiceStack so the full range of authentication schemes are supported.

    Thanks.

  9. Use a ThreadPool for RedisMqServer Services instead of hardcoding nbr of threads

    For increasing the throughput for a specific Request service in RedisMqServer, you need to manually hardcode the number of threads that the request/service has:

    https://docs.servicestack.net/redis-mq#easily-parallelize-and-multiply-your-services-throughput

    Like so:
    mqService.RegisterHandler<PostStatusTwitter>(ExecuteMessage, noOfThreads:2);

    I would like to suggest the option to use a ThreadPool instead.

    That would give the option to state the total number of concurrent/parallell processing, but there is no need to lock it down to specific requests. This is more versatile and less resource-wasting; if a certain Service isnt used right now, the threads can be used to process other Services instead.

    Maybe something like:

    mqService.UseThreadPool = true;
    mqService.MaxNbrOfThreads = 50;

    …

    AdminDemis J Bellot (Developer, ServiceStack) responded

    Usage of a dedicated thread per Message Type is per design so throughput can be controlled per Type, sequential processing can be enforced and processing is isolated from long tail of other lower priority MQ Messages delaying processing of higher priority ones.

    You can reduce number of sleeping threads by having fewer MQ Types, i.e. combining multiple MQ Tasks into a single union type whose Service implementation can delegate into invoking their different individual services.

    Mixing Threadpool MQ Server strategies will not happen with the existing implementation, it requires a completely new implementation with different behavior & design goals.

    I’ll leave this feature request open in-case anyone decides to implement a different MQ Server strategy and can post a link to their implementation here.

  10. Support JSV serialization in request URL for typescript client

    SS supports deserializing nested request objects if they are sent in URL as JSV. The typescript client should support this when sending a request object that has a nested object. At the moment it just appends the word "Object" to URL. I think if it doesn't support it then it should generate an error/warning when detecting a nested object as would save some confusion.

  11. Decouple AutoQuery from OrmLiteConnectionFactory

    Currently AutoQuery is coupled to OrmLiteConnectionFactory to support it's feature set.

    I am able to write an IQueryDataSource to expose my data through AutoQueryData feature, however in order to use AutoQueryFeature which supports the GenerateCrudServices flag the Feature is coupled to the built in OrmLite implementation.

    Would it be possible to modify it so we can use more data sources? Currently having to provide an IDbConnection forces us into SQL type languages, whereas I am trying to support CosmosDb and we should be able to support a CRUD service creation if we have some kind of Document Data Source interfaces…

  14. Update aurelia-spa to use authentication like angular-spa and other templates

    This would be super helpful to have the current Aurelia template updated with the authentication piece that has been added to the angular and react spa templates.

  15. Implements IDistributedCache on ServiceStack caching providers

    It would be very useful to have the implementation of .net core IDistribuitedCache interface on ServiceStack caching providers. This would improve the integration with other modules that support the standard .net cache interface.

  16. Support postgresql @@ operator OrmLite

    Currently the PostgreSQL text match operator @@ throws validation error when used in a Ormlite custom query string.

    Would be nice to get support for that and also support for parameterised query to support tsquery type.

  20. Blazor support

    Blazor (www.blazor.net) seems to be the next revolution in web programming, where C# can be used instead of Javascript.

    However, WebAssembly is in essence still Javascript, and thus it seems that the C# client for Servicestack cannot be used:

    https://stackoverflow.com/questions/56386712/servicestack-adding-blazor-support

    I would suggest looking into supporting Blazor client-side programming with ServiceStack, at least a C# client that works with the ServiceStack cli (https://docs.servicestack.net/csharp-client).
