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>

Introducing Docker

Docker (https://www.docker.com/) has been a major force behind popularizing the containerization of applications. Docker is to containers what Google is to search engines. Sometimes, people even use containers and Docker as synonyms. Microsoft has partnered with Docker and is actively contributing to the Docker platform and tools via open source. This makes Docker important for us as .NET developers.

Docker is a very important topic and is significant enough that any serious .NET developer should learn about it. However, due to time and scope constraints, we will just scratch the surface of the ecosystem of Docker here. We strongly recommend that you read through the Docker books that have been made available by Packt Publishing.

If you want to safely try and learn about Docker without installing it on your machine, you can do so by going to&...
