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>

Testing Microservices with the Microsoft Unit Testing Framework

Quality assurance, or testing, is a great way to assess a system, program, or application in a variety of ways. Sometimes, a system requires testing for it to identify erroneous code, while on other occasions, we may need it to assess our system's business compliance. Testing can vary from system to system, and it can be considerably different, depending on the architectural style of the application. Everything depends on how we strategically approach our testing plan. For example, testing a monolith .NET application is different from testing SOA or microservices.

The aim of this chapter is to understand the testing strategies and the different types of testing we can use. We will learn how to implement unit tests, with the help of the Microsoft Unit Testing Framework and with the help of Moq (an open-source...
