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.

ReflectInsight – Microservice Logging Redefined

Every developer needs to have a good logging tool. Unfortunately, what I mostly see happening is developers keeping up with the latest and greatest of everything but logging. Run it through Log4Net or NLog into a text file and that's it. No richness at all. Welcome to ReflectInsight.

In this chapter, we will:

Discuss ReflectInsight and how it provides rich logging capabilities
Discuss all the options available to configure ReflectInsight

If you have not used ReflectInsight from ReflectSoftware before, you are going to love this chapter. It is so incredibly important to have the right logging tool, especially in machine learning. You absolutely need to know what's going on inside your algorithm, and ReflectSoftware has the richest logging capabilities around. Especially when it comes to machine learning algorithms...
