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.

Let's Talk Microservices, Messages, and Tools

Microservices are all the rage. They are talked about everywhere, and it seems like everyone wants them nowadays. There are probably as many implementations of them as there are words in this paragraph, and we'll add yet another one into the mix. But this comes from several implementations and years of experience developing enterprise grade microservice ecosystems for big clients. Now, I'm letting you in on the same techniques and best practices I've been using in the real world. And thus, you have the logic behind this book. I'm going to show you how to develop a powerful, flexible, and scalable microservice ecosystem, and hopefully along the way spark ideas for you to go off on your own endeavors and create even more. And we're not talking about some skimpy little web page or a single service; I've packed this book full of more microservices than you can shake a stick at, and I am sure your ideas will take shape and you will enhance this ecosystem to meet your needs.
