Building Microservices with .NET Core 2.0 - Second Edition

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.

Securing Microservices

Security is one of the most important cross-cutting concerns for web applications. Unfortunately, data breaches of well-known sites seem commonplace these days. Taking this into account, information and application security has become critical to web applications. For the same reason, secure applications should no longer be an afterthought. Security is everyone's responsibility in an organization.

Monolithic applications have less surface area when compared to microservices, however, microservices are distributed systems by nature. Also, in principle, microservices are isolated from each other; hence, well-implemented microservices are more secure as compared to monolithic applications. A monolith has different attack vectors compared to microservices. The microservice architecture style forces us to think differently in the context of security. However...
