Overview of this book

This book will guide you through various hands-on practical examples for implementing event-driven microservices architecture using C# 11 and .NET 7. It has been divided into three distinct sections, each focusing on different aspects of this implementation. The first section will cover the new features of .NET 7 that will make developing applications using EDA patterns easier, the sample application that will be used throughout the book, and how the core tenets of domain-driven design (DDD) are implemented in .NET 7. The second section will review the various components of a local environment setup, the containerization of code, testing, deployment, and the observability of microservices using an EDA approach. The third section will guide you through the need for scalability and service resilience within the application, along with implementation details related to elastic and autoscale components. You’ll also cover how proper telemetry helps to automatically drive scaling events. In addition, the topic of observability is revisited using examples of service discovery and microservice inventories. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to identify and catalog domains, events, and bounded contexts to be used for the design and development of a resilient microservices architecture.

Fault Injection and Chaos Testing

Just as software development practices have evolved over the past few decades, so has software testing. With the added draw of paradigms such as Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and Configuration as Code (CaC), more and more pieces of an application are now stored in code and can be tested in a variety of ways. An added benefit of leveraging cloud services to host portions of an application is the ability to test, in isolation or production, how the application will respond in the event of a cloud platform failure.

At times, anything from virtual machine services to serverless functions to authentication platforms can become unavailable. Having the ability to see how your application reacts in the face of unexpected outages is something that is often overlooked when dealing with applications running in an on-premises environment. Being able to anticipate, script, test, and resolve issues based on your understanding of potential issues brings more confidence...
