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.

Command Query Responsibility Segregation (CQRS) pattern

In its general form, the usage of this pattern is quite easy: use different structures to store and query data. Here, the requirements regarding how to store and update data differ from the requirements of queries. In the case of DDD, the unit of storage is the aggregate, so additions, deletions, and updates involve aggregates, while queries usually involve more or less complicated transformations of properties that have been taken from several aggregates.

Moreover, usually, we don't perform business operations on query results. We just use them to compute other data (averages, sums, and so on). Therefore, while updates require entities with full object-oriented semantics (methods, validation rules, encapsulated information, and so on), query results just need sets of property/value pairs, so Data Transfer Objects (DTOs) with only public properties and no methods work well.

In its common form, the pattern can be...
