Learn the essential concepts, techniques, and design patterns that will help you build scalable and maintainable distributed systems

Key Features

Learn to design, implement, test, and deploy your microservices
Understand the challenges and complexities of testing and monitoring distributed services
Build modular and robust microservice architectures with the latest features of C# 8 and .NET Core 3.1

Book DescriptionThe microservice architectural style promotes the development of complex applications as a suite of small services based on specific business capabilities. With this book, you'll take a hands-on approach to build microservices and deploy them using ASP .NET Core and Microsoft Azure.

You'll start by understanding the concept of microservices and their fundamental characteristics. This microservices book will then introduce a real-world app built as a monolith, currently struggling under increased demand and complexity, and guide you in its transition to microservices using the latest features of C# 8 and .NET Core 3. You'll identify service boundaries, split the application into multiple microservices, and define service contracts. You'll also explore how to configure, deploy, and monitor microservices using Docker and Kubernetes, and implement autoscaling in a microservices architecture for enhanced productivity. Once you've got to grips with reactive microservices, you'll discover how keeping your code base simple enables you to focus on what's important rather than on messy asynchronous calls. Finally, you'll delve into various design patterns and best practices for creating enterprise-ready microservice applications.

By the end of this book, you'll be able to deconstruct a monolith successfully to create well-defined microservices.

What you will learn

Package, deploy, and manage microservices and containers with Azure Service Fabric
Use REST APIs to integrate services using a synchronous approach
Protect public APIs using Azure Active Directory and OAuth 2.0
Understand the operation and scaling of microservices using Docker and Kubernetes
Implement reactive microservices with Reactive Extensions
Discover design patterns and best practices for building enterprise-ready apps

Who this book is forThis book is for C# and .NET Core developers who want to understand microservices architecture and implement it in their .NET Core applications. If you're new to building microservices or have theoretical knowledge of the architectural approach, this book will help you gain a practical perspective to manage application complexity efficiently.
