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>

What are microservices?

A microservices architecture is a bunch of services, where each service is independently deployed and should implement a single business capability.

Can you define Azure Service Fabric?

Azure Service Fabric is a platform that helps us with easily packaging, deploying, and managing scalable and reliable microservices (the container is also like Docker, and so on). Sometimes, it is difficult to focus on your main responsibility as a developer due to complex infrastructural problems, and so on. With the help of Azure Service Fabric, developers need not worry about the infrastructural issues. It provides various technologies and comes as a bundle that has the power of Azure SQL Database, Cosmos DB, Microsoft Power BI, Azure Event Hubs, Azure IoT Hub, and many more core services.

What is database sharding?

In general, database sharding is simply defined...
