Introduction to Microservices – the Big Picture
Microservices are being featured in every avenue of software development. Microservices are a software development style that has been touted to increase development speed and efficiency while improving software scalability and delivery. This development technique is not unique to any stack and has become extremely popular in Java, .NET, and JavaScript (Node JS) development. While the use of microservices is seen as a pattern, there are several subpatterns that are employed to ensure that the code base is as effective as possible.
This chapter is the first of this 15-chapter book, which will cover design patterns used in microservices. We will be focusing on implementing them using the .NET Core development stack, and you will learn how code can be written and deployed. You will learn about design and coding patterns, third-party tools and environments, and best practices for handling certain scenarios in application development with microservices.
In this chapter, we are going to cover the following topics:
- A deep dive into microservices and its key elements
- Assessing the business need for microservices
- Determining the feasibility of implementing microservices
