Building Microservices with .NET Core 2.0 - Second Edition

By: Gaurav Aroraa

Overview of this book

The microservices architectural style 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 your business. We'll start by looking at what microservices are and their main characteristics. Moving forward, you will be introduced to real-life application scenarios; after assessing the current issues, we will begin the journey of transforming this application by splitting it into a suite of microservices using C# 7.0 with .NET Core 2.0. You will identify service boundaries, split the application into multiple microservices, and define 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 reactive microservices, you’ll strategically gain further value to keep your code base simple, focusing on what is more important rather than on messy asynchronous calls.

How does the microservice architecture work?

Until now, we have discussed various things about the microservice architecture, and we can now depict how the microservice architecture works; we can use any combination as per our design approach or bet on a pattern that would fit in it. Here are a few points that favor the working of the microservice architecture:

  • It's programming of the modern era, where we are expected to follow all SOLID principles. It's object-oriented programming (OOP).
  • It is the best way is to expose the functionality to other or external components in a way so that any other programming language will be able to use the functionality without adhering to any specific user interfaces, that is, services (web services, APIs, rest services, and so on).
  • The whole system works as per a type of collaboration that is not interconnected or interdependent.
  • Every component is liable for its own responsibilities. In other words, components are responsible for only one functionality.
  • It segregates code with a separation concept, and segregated code is reusable.
