Building Microservices with .NET Core

Overview of this book

Microservices is an architectural style that promotes the development of complex applications as a suite of small services based on business capabilities. This book will help you identify the appropriate service boundaries within the business. We'll start by looking at what microservices are, and what the main characteristics are. Moving forward, you will be introduced to real-life application scenarios, and after assessing the current issues, we will begin the journey of transforming this application by splitting it into a suite of microservices. You will identify the service boundaries, split the application into multiple microservices, and define the service contracts. You will find out how to configure, deploy, and monitor microservices, and configure scaling to allow the application to quickly adapt to increased demand in the future. With an introduction to the reactive microservices, you strategically gain further value to keep your code base simple, focusing on what is more important rather than the messy asynchronous calls.

Prerequisites for successful microservice deployments


Any architectural style comes with a set of associated patterns and practices to follow. The microservice architectural style is no different. Microservice implementation has more chances of being successful with the adoption of the following practices:

  • Self-sufficient teams: Amazon, who is a pioneer of SOA and microservice architectures, follows the Two Pizza Teams paradigm. This means usually a microservice team will have no more than 7-10 team members. These team members will have all the necessary skills and roles, for example, development, operations, and business analyst. Such a service team handles the development, operations, and management of a microservice. 
  • CI and CD: CI and CD are prerequisites for implementing microservices. Smaller self-sufficient teams, who can integrate their work frequently, are precursors to the success of microservices. This architecture is not as simple as monolith. However, automation and the ability...
