Hands-On Microservices with C#

By: Matt Cole

Overview of this book

C# is a powerful language when it comes to building applications and software architecture using rich libraries and tools such as .NET. This book will harness the strength of C# in developing microservices architectures and applications. This book shows developers how to develop an enterprise-grade, event-driven, asynchronous, message-based microservice framework using C#, .NET, and various open source tools. We will discuss how to send and receive messages, how to design many types of microservice that are truly usable in a corporate environment. We will also dissect each case and explain the code, best practices, pros and cons, and more. Through our journey, we will use many open source tools, and create file monitors, a machine learning microservice, a quantitative financial microservice that can handle bonds and credit default swaps, a deployment microservice to show you how to better manage your deployments, and memory, health status, and other microservices. By the end of this book, you will have a complete microservice ecosystem you can place into production or customize in no time.

Installation

As usual, we will create a Console App (.NET Framework) for our microservice:

In this microservice, we will use an open source library to help us with the quant work. This library is QLNet.dll and you can find the source for it on GitHub at https://github.com/amaggiulli/QLNet. As we did in our Chapter 9, Creating a Machine Learning Microservice chapter, we are going to reference the QuantLib framework via .dll instead of the NuGet package. Again, you have the freedom to do whatever you like when you implement your full version:

Once this library is installed, we are ready to go. In order to communicate throughout our system, we are going to have to create some common messages, just as we did for the other microservices. Let's start out with one for a CDS. A CDS is basically insurance, insurance against non-payment or a default on payments. If you remember,...
