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

Scalability is one of the critical advantages of pursuing the microservice architectural style. We looked at the characteristics of microservice scalability. We discussed the Scale Cube model of scalability and how microservices can scale on the y axis via functional decomposition of the system. Then we approached the scaling problem with the scaling infrastructure. In the infrastructure segment, we looked at the strong capability of Azure Cloud to scale, utilizing the Azure scale sets and container orchestration solutions, such as Docker Swarm, DC/OS, and Kubernetes.

In the later stages of the chapter, we focused on scaling with a service design and discussed how our data model should be designed. We also discussed certain considerations, such as having a split CQRS style model, while designing the data model for high scalability. We also briefly touched on caching, especially...
