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 Azure Active Directory

There are multiple providers for the OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect 1.0 specifications. Azure Active Directory (AAD) is one of them. AAD provides organizations with enterprise-grade identity management, for cloud applications. AAD integration will give your users a streamlined sign-in experience, and it will help your application conform to the IT policy. AAD provides advanced security features, such as multifactor authentication, and it scales really well with application growth. It is used in all Microsoft Azure Cloud products, including Office 365, and it processes more than a billion sign-ins per day.

One more interesting aspect of traditional .NET environments is that they can integrate their organizational Windows Server Active Directory with AAD really well. Here, we've used OAuth/OIDC, since we adapted Active Directory Federation...
