Future of Function Monkey about functionmonkey HOT 10 OPEN

We are also using Function Monkey as our Azure function framework - Thanks for the great project James. I think there are quite a few of us here who would not mind helping out with the project to keep it alive.

Hi Sebastian,

I am currently actively using Function Monkey with the .NET Core SDK 3.1.6 and on Azure Functions v3.

For me the only problems with updates that already exist are:

• new Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Functions package 3.0.9 when i use 3.0.3;
• Dependency on FluentValidation 8.6.2 when new 9+ version available.

Currently I don't see these issues as critical and everything works fine on these versions.

But I agree that the question of continuing to work on this project is important.

Hi AKomyshan,

thanks for the hints. Maybe I'll give it a try again as we need desperately the Event Hub integration with Function Monkey style. Maybe James can take a minute and comment

Thanks

I'm also currently using Function Monkey and managing to keep things running with similar minor problems to you @AKomyshan. However things have gone very quiet on the project.

I think, judging from this blog post, I wouldn't expect any more work on Function Monkey from James

Ha, that's pretty clear. I like the framework and it's approach, but I can certainly see his point of view. I'll probably just keep patching myself in the short term. I've added a PR to update to the latest FluentValidation and everything is working great for me. I'd be happy to help maintain the project where I can.

Hi all! I'm hoping to find a new owner... just so pressed for time at the moment I've struggled to move that on.

Totally understand @JamesRandall, and agree with most of your blog post. Maintaining these types of projects can be a pretty thankless task. I appreciate your efforts to far. Saved me hundreds of hours and countless dead ends navigating Azure functions already.

@JamesRandall Hi James, before you "find a new owner", ...I'd pay for Function Monkey if it was regularly updated. Just saying.

My alternative is simply to switch my project from hosting on Azure Function consumption plan to a fixed "monthly" standard webapi, so there's an immediate saving for me.
I'd pay a subscription, at £30/a year for solo developer.

Any else?

Hi All.
With this conversation around the project not being maintained anymore is there too big of a risk to actually use it in a new project that I am building? I am really liking Function Monkey and all of the features, but a little concerned with using it in a new project if it isn't going to be maintained / supported long term?
