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>

Summary

Debugging and monitoring microservices isn't simple; it's a challenging problem. We have used the word challenging here on purpose: there is no silver bullet for this. There is no single tool that you can install that works like magic. However, with Azure Diagnostics and Application Insights, or with the ELK stack or Splunk, you can come up with solutions that will help you solve microservice monitoring challenges.

Implementing microservice monitoring strategies, is a helpful way to monitor microservice implementations. The monitoring strategies include application/system monitoring, real-time user monitoring, synthetic transactions, centralized logging, semantic logging block, and the implementation of a correlation ID throughout transactional HTTP requests. We saw how to create a report to monitor an application, with the help of various tools. With the...
