The Sample Application
Over the past several years, the emergence of high-volume, scalable, event-driven applications has caused an interesting shift in application development. Complimentary design patterns have made writing and implementing event-driven architectures more appealing and have helped to reduce the learning curve when it comes to fully leveraging the elasticity and resiliency of cloud platform components. We will be taking a look at an application that utilizes event-driven architectures, implemented using .NET 7 and leveraging cloud-native applications and data constructs.
The purpose of this chapter is to outline the sample application we will be using throughout this book, along with the business drivers and goals it intends to satisfy. This will provide you with the opportunity to get a baseline understanding of the application's structure, source code, mechanics, and domains.
In this chapter, we'll cover the following main topics:
- Exploring business drivers and the application
- Architectural structures and paradigms
- Implementation details
