Hands-On Microservices with C# 8 and .NET Core 3 - Third Edition

By: Gaurav Aroraa, Ed Price

Overview of this book

<p>The microservice architectural style promotes the development of complex applications as a suite of small services based on specific business capabilities. With this book, you'll take a hands-on approach to build microservices and deploy them using ASP .NET Core and Microsoft Azure. </p><p>You'll start by understanding the concept of microservices and their fundamental characteristics. This microservices book will then introduce a real-world app built as a monolith, currently struggling under increased demand and complexity, and guide you in its transition to microservices using the latest features of C# 8 and .NET Core 3. You'll identify service boundaries, split the application into multiple microservices, and define service contracts. You'll also explore how to configure, deploy, and monitor microservices using Docker and Kubernetes, and implement autoscaling in a microservices architecture for enhanced productivity. Once you've got to grips with reactive microservices, you'll discover how keeping your code base simple enables you to focus on what's important rather than on messy asynchronous calls. Finally, you'll delve into various design patterns and best practices for creating enterprise-ready microservice applications. </p><p>By the end of this book, you'll be able to deconstruct a monolith successfully to create well-defined microservices.</p>

The Aggregator pattern

In microservices, we have a tendency to break our business features into tiny items as separate services, and these services are hosted on completely different servers. Each service has its own information (sometimes services share one database), and the incoming data to these services contains this information. Sometimes, it's necessary to mix the details of the data that is coming from the services. This data requires the patron and this job/task to be done at the service level only. Data collaboration is the responsibility of the system and not of the patron.

To handle such cases, we can use the Aggregator pattern. As its name suggests, it aggregates or combines the information and returns the final response. With the assistance of the Aggregator pattern, we will mix the responses of two or more services, apply any business logic (if required...
