Building Microservices with .NET Core 2.0 - Second Edition

Overview of this book

The microservices architectural style promotes the development of complex applications as a suite of small services based on business capabilities. This book will help you identify the appropriate service boundaries within your business. We'll start by looking at what microservices are and their main characteristics. Moving forward, you will be introduced to real-life application scenarios; after assessing the current issues, we will begin the journey of transforming this application by splitting it into a suite of microservices using C# 7.0 with .NET Core 2.0. You will identify service boundaries, split the application into multiple microservices, and define service contracts. You will find out how to configure, deploy, and monitor microservices, and configure scaling to allow the application to quickly adapt to increased demand in the future. With an introduction to reactive microservices, you’ll strategically gain further value to keep your code base simple, focusing on what is more important rather than on messy asynchronous calls.

Summary

The microservice architectural style, being distributed by design, gives us better options to protect valuable business-critical systems. Traditional .NET-based authentication and authorization techniques are not sufficient and cannot be applied to the microservice world. We also saw why secure token-based approaches, such as OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect 1.0, are becoming concrete standards for microservice authorization and authentication. If you want to have more general information related to security, do visit Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) at http://www.owasp.org and Microsoft Security development life cycle at https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/sdl/. Azure AD can support OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect 1.0 very well. Azure API Management can also act as an API gateway in microservices' implementation and also provide nifty security features, such as...
