Software Architecture with C# 12 and .NET 8 - Fourth Edition

3.5 (2)
By: Gabriel Baptista, Francesco Abbruzzese

Overview of this book

Software Architecture with C# 12 and .NET 8 puts high-level design theory to work in a .NET context, teaching you the key skills, technologies, and best practices required to become an effective .NET software architect. This fourth edition puts emphasis on a case study that will bring your skills to life. You’ll learn how to choose between different architectures and technologies at each level of the stack. You’ll take an even closer look at Blazor and explore OpenTelemetry for observability, as well as a more practical dive into preparing .NET microservices for Kubernetes integration. Divided into three parts, this book starts with the fundamentals of software architecture, covering C# best practices, software domains, design patterns, DevOps principles for CI/CD, and more. The second part focuses on the technologies, from choosing data storage in the cloud to implementing frontend microservices and working with Serverless. You’ll learn about the main communication technologies used in microservices, such as REST API, gRPC, Azure Service Bus, and RabbitMQ. The final part takes you through a real-world case study where you’ll create software architecture for a travel agency. By the end of this book, you will be able to transform user requirements into technical needs and deliver highly scalable enterprise software architectures.

A worker microservice based on RabbitMQ

This section explains the modifications needed to use a message broker instead of gRPC communication with an internal queue. This kind of solution is usually more difficult to test and design but allows for better horizontal scaling, and also enables extra features at almost no cost since they are offered by the message broker itself.

We assume that RabbitMQ has already been installed and adequately prepared, as explained in the Installing RabbitMQ core subsection of Chapter 14, Implementing Microservices with .NET.

First, the ASP.NET Core project must be replaced by another Worker Service project. Also, this project must add the connection string to its configuration file and must call the AddStorage extension method to add all the database services to the dependency injection engine. Below is the full content of the Program.cs file:

using GrpcMicroService.HostedServices;
using GrpcMicroServiceStore;
IHost host = Host.CreateDefaultBuilder...
