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.

The Sample Application

Over the past several years, the emergence of high-volume, scalable, event-driven applications has caused an interesting shift in application development. Complimentary design patterns have made writing and implementing event-driven architectures more appealing and have helped to reduce the learning curve when it comes to fully leveraging the elasticity and resiliency of cloud platform components. We will be taking a look at an application that utilizes event-driven architectures, implemented using .NET 7 and leveraging cloud-native applications and data constructs.

The purpose of this chapter is to outline the sample application we will be using throughout this book, along with the business drivers and goals it intends to satisfy. This will provide you with the opportunity to get a baseline understanding of the application's structure, source code, mechanics, and domains.

In this chapter, we'll cover the following main topics:

  • Exploring business drivers and the application
  • Architectural structures and paradigms
  • Implementation details
