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>

Building the application

In the previous sections, we discussed the complete picture of FlixOne Software. This piece of software is very big, and we aren't going to develop all of it here; instead, we will define MVP to showcase the strength of the software. This software can be extended to any level.

By taking an MVP approach, the scope of a piece of work is limited to the smallest set of requirements, in order to produce a functioning deliverable. MVP is often combined with Agile software development by limiting requirements to a manageable amount that can be designed, developed, tested, and delivered. This approach lends itself well to smaller websites or application development, where a feature set can be progressed all the way to production in a single development cycle.

We are going to develop a FlixOne Store application that has the following functionalities:
