Software Architecture with C# 9 and .NET 5 - Second Edition

By: Gabriel Baptista, Francesco Abbruzzese

Overview of this book

Software architecture is the practice of implementing structures and systems that streamline the software development process and improve the quality of an app. This fully revised and expanded second edition, featuring the latest features of .NET 5 and C# 9, enables you to acquire the key skills, knowledge, and best practices required to become an effective software architect. This second edition features additional explanation of the principles of Software architecture, including new chapters on Azure Service Fabric, Kubernetes, and Blazor. It also includes more discussion on security, microservices, and DevOps, including GitHub deployments for the software development cycle. You will begin by understanding how to transform user requirements into architectural needs and exploring the differences between functional and non-functional requirements. Next, you will explore how to carefully choose a cloud solution for your infrastructure, along with the factors that will help you manage your app in a cloud-based environment. Finally, you will discover software design patterns and various software approaches that will allow you to solve common problems faced during development. By the end of this book, you will be able to build and deliver highly scalable enterprise-ready apps that meet your organization’s business requirements.

Understanding domain-driven design

DDD is about the construction of a unique domain model that keeps all the views as separate models. Thus, the whole application domain is split into smaller domains, each with a separate model. These separate domains are called Bounded Contexts. Each domain is characterized by the language spoken by the experts and used to name all the domain concepts and operations. Thus, each domain defines a common language used by both the expert and the development team called a Ubiquitous Language. Translations are not needed anymore, and if the development team uses interfaces as bases for its code, the domain expert is able to understand and validate them since all the operations and properties are expressed in the same language that's used by the expert.

Here, we're getting rid of a cumbersome unique abstract model, but now we have several separated models that we need to relate somehow. DDD proposes that it will handle all of these separated...
