Overview of this book

This Learning Path helps you understand microservices architecture and leverage various services of Microsoft Azure Service Fabric to build, deploy, and maintain highly scalable enterprise-grade applications. You will learn to select an appropriate Azure backend structure for your solutions and work with its toolkit and managed apps to share your solutions with its service catalog. As you progress through the Learning Path, you will study Azure Cloud Services, Azure-managed Kubernetes, and Azure Container Services deployment techniques. To apply all that you’ve understood, you will build an end-to-end Azure system in scalable, decoupled tiers for an industrial bakery with three business domains. Toward the end of this Learning Path, you will build another scalable architecture using Azure Service Bus topics to send orders between decoupled business domains with scalable worker roles processing these orders. By the end of this Learning Path, you will be comfortable in using development, deployment, and maintenance processes to build robust cloud solutions on Azure. This Learning Path includes content from the following Packt products: • Learn Microsoft Azure by Mohamed Wali • Implementing Azure Solutions - Second Edition by Florian Klaffenbach, Oliver Michalski, Markus Klein • Microservices with Azure by Namit Tanasseri and Rahul Rai

Built-in communication API


Service Fabric offers many built-in communication options to support inter-service communications. Service remoting is one of them. This option allows strong typed remote procedure calls between Reliable Services and Reliable Actors. This option is very easy to set up and operate with as service remoting handles resolution of service addresses, connection, retry, and error handling. Service Fabric also supports HTTP for language-agnostic communication.

Service Fabric SDK exposes ICommunicationClient and ServicePartitionClient classes for service resolution, HTTP connections, and retry loops. WCF is also supported by Service Fabric as a communication channel to enable legacy workload to be hosted on it. The SDK exposed WcfCommunicationListener for the server side and WcfCommunicationClient and ServicePartitionClient classes for the client to ease programming hurdles.
