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.

Reactive microservices - coding it down


Now, let's try to sum up everything and see how it actually looks in the code. We will use Visual Studio 2015 for this. The first step would be to create a reactive microservice, then we will move on to creating a client for consuming the service created by us.

Creating the project

We will now go ahead and create our reactive microservice example. In order to do this, we need to create a project of the ASP.NET web application type. Just follow these steps and you should be able to see your first reactive microservice in action:

  1. Start Visual Studio.
  2. Create a new project by navigating to File | New | Project.
  3. From the installed templates, select Web and ASP.NET Web Application.
  4. Name it FlixOne.BookStore.ProductService.Tests and click on OK.
  5. Next, select Empty from the template screen and check the WebAPI option for adding folders and core references. Then click on OK:
  1. Add folders' persistence and context to the project:
  2. Add the following NuGet packages to the...
