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 Base Microservice and Interface

Now the fun begins. We've gotten all the details out of the way, threw a whole bunch of new terms at you, and now we're ready to get to the code. In this chapter, we are going to:

  • Create a base microservice that will hold the common functionality that all our microservices can inherit
  • This project by all other microservices
  • It will supply the interface from which all projects inherit

I will give a note of warning to everyone up front. Even though the purpose (one of the purposes) of a base class is to abstract common details and functionality, for the sake of clarity and understanding in each chapter, I am redundantly showing code that might be included in our base class as it was a part of the microservice itself, and, in some cases, it will be. I would rather provide a basis for you to quickly move forward with your own...
