Building Microservices with .NET Core

Overview of this book

Microservices is an architectural style that promotes the development of complex applications as a suite of small services based on business capabilities. This book will help you identify the appropriate service boundaries within the business. We'll start by looking at what microservices are, and what the main characteristics are. Moving forward, you will be introduced to real-life application scenarios, and after assessing the current issues, we will begin the journey of transforming this application by splitting it into a suite of microservices. You will identify the service boundaries, split the application into multiple microservices, and define the service contracts. You will find out how to configure, deploy, and monitor microservices, and configure scaling to allow the application to quickly adapt to increased demand in the future. With an introduction to the reactive microservices, you strategically gain further value to keep your code base simple, focusing on what is more important rather than the messy asynchronous calls.

Why should we use microservices?


Tremendous patterns and architectures have been explored with some gaining popularity; there are others, though, which are losing the battle of Internet traffic. With each solution having its own advantages and disadvantages, it has become increasingly important for companies to quickly respond to fundamental demands, such as scalability, high performance, and easy deployment. Any single aspect failing to be not fulfilled in a cost-effective manner could easily impact large businesses negatively, making a likely difference between a profitable and non-profitable venture.

This is where we see microservices coming to the rescue of enterprise system architects. They can ensure their designs against problems quoted previously, with the help of this architectural style. It is also important to consider the fact that this objective is met in a cost-effective manner while respecting the factor of time involved.
