Building Microservices with .NET Core 2.0 - Second Edition

By: Gaurav Aroraa

Overview of this book

The microservices architectural style 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 your business. We'll start by looking at what microservices are and their main characteristics. Moving forward, you will be introduced to real-life application scenarios; after assessing the current issues, we will begin the journey of transforming this application by splitting it into a suite of microservices using C# 7.0 with .NET Core 2.0. You will identify service boundaries, split the application into multiple microservices, and define 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 reactive microservices, you’ll strategically gain further value to keep your code base simple, focusing on what is more important rather than on messy asynchronous calls.

Introducing Docker

Docker (www.docker.com) has been a major force behind popularizing the containerization of applications. Docker is to containers what Google is to search engines. Sometimes, people even use containers and Docker as synonyms. Microsoft has partnered with Docker and is actively contributing to the Docker platform and tools in open source. This makes Docker important for us as .NET developers.

Docker is a very important topic and will be significant enough to learn for any serious .NET developer. However, due to time and scope constraints, we will just scratch the surface of the ecosystem of Docker here. We strongly recommend that you read through the Docker books made available by Packt Publishing.

If you want to safely try and learn Docker without even installing it on your machine, you can do so with https://KataCoda.com.
