I recently realized I forgot to share the amazing conferences happening right now: the “Days of Knowledge” series and BC TechDays. 🤩 I’m a bit ashamed because it’s always such an honor to be part of these events, and the least I can do is help spread the word. But hey, it’s not too late …

When I asked CentralQ. I got a lot of truth, but also …

This is just going to be a brief post, because there have been other blogs about this topic – I just wanted to add a small piece on top of it ;-).

Not too long ago, I was (and still am) challenged with analyzing deadlocks at a specific customer. And in all honesty – that was not easy, because, you know, deadlocks is something on SQL – and it’s not like we have a lot of access to SQL tools. What are deadlocks? I’m not going to …

I’ve been working with Business Central Telemetry a lot the last coulple of months, having to deal with deadlocks and such.
