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.

Creating a Blockchain Bitcoin Microservice

Blockchain, Bitcoin, you hear that as much as you hear the terms big data and artificial intelligence (AI) thrown around. What is blockchain technology, you might ask? I've heard of Bitcoin but never used it, and what does that have to do with a microservice? Well, the same way I showed you how to turn a machine learning and quant financial framework into a microservice, so shall we do here.

In this chapter we will cover:

  1. Blockchain and Bitcoin theory
  2. Building a Bitcoin microservice
  3. Show you how you can spend digital cash
