Summary

In this book, we’ve explored the world of microservices, covering topics such as defining services with DDD, managing communication, addressing distributed data challenges, and ensuring resilience and observability. We also discuss securing services and deploying them using containers, Kubernetes, serverless, and the Aspire platform.

The main lesson is to be pragmatic. While microservices offer agility, scalability, and resilience, they also introduce complexity, operational challenges, and new failure risks. Not all systems require microservices, and not every microservice needs every advanced pattern. Begin with a simple approach, apply patterns only when they address actual issues, and improve gradually.

This system demonstrates a practical implementation of the patterns and practices we’ve examined, rather than an idealized concept. As you finish reading this book, keep in mind that the objective measure of success for microservice architecture is...
