← 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).

I suggest you ...

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the "My feedback" filter and select "My open ideas".

  1. Extend the api to allow Reverse Routing

    An option would be to open the access to Routes.
    This would allow to separate the concerns of application workflow in services (describing next operations if required) from route resolution (which could be done in a filter or in the appconfig).

  2. Add ETag / If-None-Match support to enable client-side caching

    This would be very nice to have, in both the ServiceStack client AND server. The server part would be preferred, obviously :)

    ServiceStack’s HTTP Caching story has been greatly improved in v4.0.56 which transparently improves the behavior of existing ToOptimized Cached Responses, provides a typed API to to opt-in to HTTP Client features, introduces a simpler declarative API for enabling both Server and Client Caching of Services and also includes Cache-aware clients that are able to improve the performance and robustness of all existing .NET Service Clients – functionality that’s especially valuable to bandwidth-constrained Xamarin.iOS / Xamarin.Android clients offering improved performance and greater resilience.

    For more details please refer to the v4.0.56 Release Notes: https://github.com/ServiceStack/ServiceStack/blob/master/docs/2016/v4.0.56.md#http-caching

  3. Add first-class support for Amazon

    Add first-class integration for hosting on Amazon cloud services (like MS does with Azure), e.g. adapters for Amazon cloud services, docs on automated deployment/hosting strategies.

  4. Research optimal deployment strategies for hosting on Mono/Linux

    Research optimal deployment strategies for hosting ServiceStack on Linux (e.g. nginx FastCGI/ nginx + reverse proxy / self-hosting inside linux daemon) with the best performance, that best supports CI deployment with no downtime, auto restart/recovery when Mono process dies.

    We’ve published our recommended Setup for hosting ASP .NET sites on Linux and Mono is to use nginx/HyperFastCgi. We’ve published a step-by-step guide going through creating an Ubuntu VM from scratch complete with deploy / install / conf / init scripts at [mono-server-config]1.

    As well as a guide for hosting ServiceStack with Mono on Docker at: https://github.com/ServiceStackApps/mono-docker-config

    Although hosting on Mono is only a Stop Gap as the future and supported option for running .NET on Linux is CoreCLR which will be a priority for us to look at supporting as soon as it’s released. You can vote for the feature request to keep updated on progress: https://servicestack.uservoice.com/forums/176786-feature-requests/suggestions/10286952-support-dnx

  5. Add more MQ options

    Add more MQ Adapters, e.g: Rabbit MQ, Amazon SQS, Azure Service Bus, ZeroMQ/nanomsg.

    Support for AutoQuery has been added in v4.0.23 which enables instant querying support on RDBMS tables behind clean self-describing APIs, full docs for AutoQuery is available at:
    https://github.com/ServiceStack/ServiceStack/wiki/Auto-Query

    Support for joins have been added to typed SqlExpressions in v4.0.22:
    https://github.com/ServiceStack/ServiceStack/blob/master/release-notes.md#typed-sql-expressions-now-support-joins

    Going to mark off this broad feature as completed as we’ve just completed what we set out to do for this. Please open up new feature requests for more specific features.

    Thanks!

  7. Improve support for Xamarin iOS/Android clients

    Provide better support and testing around Android/iOS builds. iOS's AOT restrictions would likely require code-gen to minimize NoJIT errors.

  8. Add 'Add Service Reference' functionality

    Instead of sharing binary dlls with client projects, provide the option for being able to generate DTO's on the client using metadata from a remote ServiceStack instance. The result to be equivalent to sharing the binary DTO dll on the client, where you can continue to use them with generic .NET Service Clients.

    Later add support for generating types in alternative languages/platforms: Java/Ruby/Python/JavaScript/PHP/Clojure in order of interest.

  11. Refactor NuGet packages

    Change NuGet packages so they map 1:1 with ServiceStack projects. So 'Install-Package ServiceStack' doesn't bring in OrmLite and Redis automatically, and we can 'Install-Package ServiceStack.Interfaces' to bring in the minimum dependencies DTO's need.
