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>

Understanding communication between services

In the case of a .NET monolithic application, if there is a need to access third-party components or external services, we use the HTTP client or another client framework to access the resources. In Chapter 2, Refactoring the Monolith, we developed the Product service in such a way that it could work independently. But this isn't beneficial for our application; we need a few services to interact with each other.

This is a challengehaving services communicate with each other. Both the Product service and the Order service are hosted on separate servers. Both of these servers are independent of each other, are based on REST, and have their own endpoints from which they communicate with each other. (When a service interacts with another service and vice versa, we refer to it as interservice...
