About Media Six LLC
I founded Media Six LLC in 2012 and started building tools to help developers and IT professionals with their daily activities. As a working software engineer and .Net Architect, I found a recurring need in my various employment to build stable, consistent, and
cross-platform (as cross-platform as you could be in .NET in 2012) RESTful web services utilizing standard Microsoft stacks and the C#/ASP.NET language and runtime. This led me to develop my flagship product - API Studio.
Using industry best-practices (yes, we hear that everywhere, but what does it really mean?), I started with a full stack boilerplate scaffolding, centered around a highly decoupled 3-tier architecture. Everything is contract-driven, and this scaffolding uses Entity Framework at the data services layer,
and MVC WebApi approach for exposing the REST API endpoints; and of course, in the middle are the business layers - and I even threw in a mock data layer and swagger pages. Then I wrapped it all up in Visual Studio project templates, built a code generator and developed a Visual Studio Extension to make the developer experience heaven.
API Studio
API Studio is a Visual Studio Extension that includes a templated architecuture to enable your developers to quickly and consistently stand up Web API projects using only a SQL server database schema. The platform has been used in commercial projects and currently has over 50 public
services in production in the insurance industry. Most of these services were initially created using API Studio.
Using API Studio to stand up your next Web API can save you anywhere from a few days to a few weeks - just to stand up the basic scaffolding. And if you don't like the way I coded the framework, you can modify it because everything is built from templates.
Our Other Tools
Just like everyone, I keep busy. As a result, Media Six, LLC offers a short list of tools to assist with your IT infrastructure, including a WPF based TN5250 terminal emulator, QueueStudio, a tool which helps manage MSMQ, and a site monitor service (SaaS) which
can monitor your public Internet services, and provide notification and alerts when services go down and come back up.
