In this chapter, we learned about the microservices architecture for developing highly performant and scalable applications for the cloud-based on microservices. We learned some of the fundamentals of microservices, their benefits, and patterns and practices used when designing the architecture. We discussed certain challenges in decomposing the enterprise applications into the microservices architecture style and learned patterns such as API composition and CQRS to address them. Later in the chapter, we developed a basic application in .NET Core and discussed the solution structure and components of microservices, and developed identity and vendor services.
In the next chapter, we will discuss securing and implementing resilience in .NET Core applications.
