An Atypical ASP.NET Core 5 Design Patterns Guide

By: Carl-Hugo Marcotte

Overview of this book

Design patterns are a set of solutions to many of the common problems occurring in software development. Knowledge of these design patterns helps developers and professionals to craft software solutions of any scale. ASP.NET Core 5 Design Patterns starts by exploring basic design patterns, architectural principles, dependency injection, and other ASP.NET Core mechanisms. You’ll explore the component scale as you discover patterns oriented toward small chunks of the software, and then move to application-scale patterns and techniques to understand higher-level patterns and how to structure the application as a whole. The book covers a range of significant GoF (Gangs of Four) design patterns such as strategy, singleton, decorator, facade, and composite. The chapters are organized based on scale and topics, allowing you to start small and build on a strong base, the same way that you would develop a program. With the help of use cases, the book will show you how to combine design patterns to display alternate usage and help you feel comfortable working with a variety of design patterns. Finally, you’ll advance to the client side to connect the dots and make ASP.NET Core a viable full-stack alternative. By the end of the book, you’ll be able to mix and match design patterns and have learned how to think about architecture and how it works.

Chapter 16: Introduction to Microservices Architecture

This chapter is the last chapter that talks about application design. It covers some of the essential microservices architecture concepts. This chapter is designed to get you started with those principles and give you a good idea of the microservices architecture.

The goal of this chapter is to give you an overview of the concepts surrounding microservices, which should help you make informed decisions about whether you should go for a microservices architecture or not. Monolithic architecture patterns, such as Vertical Slice and Clean Architecture, are still good to know, as you can apply those to individual microservices. Don't worry – all of the knowledge you have acquired since the beginning of this book is not forfeit and is still worthwhile.

The following topics will be covered in this chapter:

  • What are microservices?
  • Getting started with message queues
  • An overview of events
  • Implementing...
