Publisher's Synopsis
Take a realistic look at microservices and distributed systems with the .NET stack to understand the limitations of microservices development through a practical lens
Key Features
- Work through common scenarios encountered when developing distributed microservices applications
- Understand cost considerations, traffic limits, and time limits surrounding serverless environments
- Take full advantage of the synergy between Azure services (Container Apps, Functions, and Aspire) and .NET code
- Purchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free eBook in PDF format
Book Description
From the authors of the Software Architecture with C# and .NET series comes this practical and grounded showcase of microservices using the .NET stack. Written for .NET developers entering the world of modern cloud and distributed applications, it shows you when microservices and serverless architectures are the right choice for building scalable enterprise solutions and when they're not. You'll gain a realistic understanding of their use cases and limitations. Rather than promoting microservices as a one-size-fits-all solution, it encourages thoughtful adoption based on real-world needs. Following a brief introduction and important setup, the book helps you prepare for practical application through examples such as a ride-sharing website. You'll work with Docker, Kubernetes, Azure Container Apps, and the new .NET Aspire with considerations for security, observability, and cost management. The book culminates in a complete event-driven application that brings together everything you've covered. By the end of the book, you'll have a well-rounded understanding of cloud and distributed .NET-viewed through the lens of two industry veterans.What you will learn
- Set up serverless environments in Azure for developing and debugging
- Design reliable communication and computation across microservices
- Explore Azure Functions in depth and use triggers for IoT and background tasks
- Use Azure Container Apps to simplify the creation and management of containers
- Apply best practices to secure a microservices application
- Accurately assess and calculate costs and usage limits in serverless solutions
Who this book is for
This book is for engineers and senior software developers looking to advance into modern cloud and distributed applications. It helps professionals evolve their knowledge of microservices and serverless architecture to get the best of both architectural models. Prior experience with C#/.NET and the Microsoft Stack (Entity Framework and ASP.NET Core) is required to get the most out of this book. If you've enjoyed the authors' previous Software Architecture with C# and .NET series, this new book offers an in-depth exploration of select topics in those earlier works.
