Overview of this book

Traditionally associated with Windows desktop applications and game development, C# has expanded into web, cloud, and mobile development. However, despite its extensive coding features, professionals often encounter issues with efficiency, scalability, and maintainability due to poor code. Clean Code in C# guides you in identifying and resolving these problems using coding best practices. This book starts by comparing good and bad code to emphasize the importance of coding standards, principles, and methodologies. It then covers code reviews, unit testing, and test-driven development, and addresses cross-cutting concerns. As you advance through the chapters, you’ll discover programming best practices for objects, data structures, exception handling, and other aspects of writing C# computer programs. You’ll also explore API design and code quality enhancement tools, while studying examples of poor coding practices to understand what to avoid. By the end of this clean code book, you’ll have the developed the skills needed to apply industry-approved coding practices to write clean, readable, extendable, and maintainable C# code.

Scaling microservices

Microservice scaling refers to the process of adjusting the capacity and performance of individual microservices to meet the changing demands of a system. Scaling is essential in microservices architectures, where different services may have varying resource requirements and experience different levels of traffic at different times. By scaling microservices appropriately, you can ensure optimal resource utilization, high availability, and responsiveness. There are two main types of scaling – horizontal scaling and vertical scaling:

  • Horizontal scaling: Horizontal scaling, also known as scaling out, involves adding more instances of a microservice to distribute the workload across multiple servers or containers. Each instance operates independently and can handle requests in parallel. Horizontal scaling is the preferred approach in microservices architectures as it allows for more flexible and granular resource allocation.

    Here are some key aspects...
