A Deep Dive into the .NET Client for Elasticsearch Codebase

In this deep dive we explore all the ins and out of the Elasticsearch client codebase. A client needs to send and receive bytes - this will come as no shock. In this talk, we show you the parts of the code base that might come as a surprise:
* code generation with razor
* custom xunit runtime to run integration tests efficiently
* literate programming with Roslyn to generate docs that never go stale
* assembly rewriting and shading of dependencies
* assembly diffing to make sure no breaking changes go in minor releases
* testing distributed nature of the client without having to spin up a 100 different nodes.
