Hands-On Microservices with C#

By: Matt Cole

Overview of this book

C# is a powerful language when it comes to building applications and software architecture using rich libraries and tools such as .NET. This book will harness the strength of C# in developing microservices architectures and applications. This book shows developers how to develop an enterprise-grade, event-driven, asynchronous, message-based microservice framework using C#, .NET, and various open source tools. We will discuss how to send and receive messages, how to design many types of microservice that are truly usable in a corporate environment. We will also dissect each case and explain the code, best practices, pros and cons, and more. Through our journey, we will use many open source tools, and create file monitors, a machine learning microservice, a quantitative financial microservice that can handle bonds and credit default swaps, a deployment microservice to show you how to better manage your deployments, and memory, health status, and other microservices. By the end of this book, you will have a complete microservice ecosystem you can place into production or customize in no time.

Recommended reading

These suggestions have nothing to do with microservice development per se, but are books I recommend you read in order to become a better all-around developer:

  • How to Lie with Statistics by Darrell Huff. This is an old book, very small, but it does an excellent job explaining how one statistic can be used in several different manners, all with the correct meaning. It also tells you that 84.5% of all statistics used are false. By the way, I just made that number up as well. The moral here is always investigate, study, and understand for yourself. If someone throws a statistic at you, such as RabbitMQ percentages or the number of microservices developed in Java versus C#, always verify what you hear.
  • The Death of Expertise by Tom Nichols. Trust me on this one!
  • Hands-On Machine Learning in C# by me. Shameless plug, but hey, I'm the author, right?
