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.

Ever since his first book about .NET in 2002 Christian Nagel’s books are a permanent companion to my career as a developer, founder, CTO, teacher, and speaker. Therefore, I was expecting a new top-notch book and I am not disappointed.Code for the cloud is a different pair of shoes, compared to desktop and mobile applications. It requires knowledge of 24/7 operations, fault-tolerance, maintainability and so on. This book covers all the Azure aspects of cloud development and definitely fills a gap on your and my bookshelf.

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.

I got a print copy of this new book a couple of weeks ago, and I've had some time to skim most of it and read several chapters in detail. The author does an excellent job of explaining what .NET Aspire is and why it's so important for cloud developers today. It simplifies so much of the infrastructure-type stuff so developers can spend more time writing apps/services.I have seen some Aspire demos at developer events this year, but this book helped me really *get* it. Outside of the .NET Aspire content, this book is also a great resource for learning about cloud app configuration, deployment, testing (with Playwright) and scaling. The gRPC and SignalR chapters we also very helpful to me.If you're a web developer who's already comfortable with .NET and Azure, this book will take your Azure/cloud skills up another notch. I love that Packt makes all of their sample code available on GitHub too. Definitely recommended.

Talks you right through how to get started and how to dive in and start learning, as well as the principles. In software engineering, it is crucial to have the hands on aspects as well as the knowledge. The language is precise, concise, and crisp.
