Pragmatic Microservices with C# and Azure

Part 1: Creating Microservices with .NET

Part 1 introduces the fundamental functionality of a microservices application. Before delving into the development of the Codebreaker application, you will explore .NET Aspire - a new cloud-ready stack for service construction. This section covers the technology’s offerings, essential features, an introduction to Microsoft Azure, and an overview of the components comprising the Codebreaker application. Subsequently, you will engage in coding using ASP.NET Core minimal APIs, crafting code for data interaction with both relational and NoSQL databases through Entity Framework (EF) Core, utilizing Azure Cosmos DB and SQL Server, and generating client libraries to access the REST service. One approach involves leveraging the HTTP client factory, while the other employs Microsoft Kioata.

Each chapter in this section provides a functional application that evolves with each subsequent chapter, enhancing the learning experience.

This part has the following chapters:

  • Chapter 1, Introduction to .NET Aspire and Microservices
  • Chapter 2, Minimal APIs – Creating REST Services
  • Chapter 3, Writing Data to Relational and NoSQL Databases
  • Chapter 4, Creating Libraries for Client Applications

Description

Pragmatic Microservices with C# and Azure introduces .NET Aspire for microservices, focusing on defining an app model, utilizing service discovery, and integrating with Azure's native cloud services. Written by a Microsoft MVP and seasoned software architect with over two decades of experience in .NET, this book will help you get to grips with robust service development using .NET features like minimal APIs, gRPC, and SignalR for real-time communication. Aside from covering essential aspects of DevOps, including testing methodologies such as unit, integration, and load testing, you’ll also explore logging and monitoring including OpenTelemetry using tools like Azure Log Analytics, Application Insights, Prometheus, and Grafana. You'll learn about asynchronous communication leveraging queues and events through Azure Event Hub and Apache. Throughout the book, theoretical aspects will be complemented by practical skills gained from building and deploying a fully functional microservices-based application. By the end, you’ll possess a deep understanding of microservices architecture, hands-on experience with various .NET technologies and Azure services, and the ability to design, build, deploy, and manage microservices applications effectively in both on-premises and cloud environments.

I'm currently diving into "Pragmatic Microservices with C# and Azure" by Nagel, and so far, it's beenan enlightening journey. The author's approach to explaining how to develop microservices on the azure platform usingthe C# programming language and .Net Aspire components is clear and well-structured,making it accessible even for those new to the concepts.I appreciate how .Net Aspire is introduced and illustrated,covering the whole life cicle of microservices and how to develop,install,configure, public, monitor, scale, and secure them.with practical examples that are easy to follow.
