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>

API Gateway pattern

The API Gateway is the only one at the center level of UI (client) and services, which means the UI can use it to collaborate with microservices. It provides us with an easier way to manage and expand these services. It gives us another degree of granularity regarding various clients (apps) as required (the application and its scope).

Simply put, granularity describes a framework that is separated into little sections. Huge frameworks can also be separated or divided into better, more appropriate sections.

The role of the API Gateway in microservices is to provide an intermediate, direct connection between the client and the hosted services with a specific arrangement and interpretation. This way the client only concentrates on what is required of it, without focusing on the server-side.

The API Gateway exemplifies the framework's design and...
