This podcast explores the world of building robust and scalable applications using microservices architecture with .NET and Docker containers. Join us as we:●Unpack the fundamentals of Docker containers and their advantages over traditional virtual machines.123●Compare and contrast .NET 7 and the .NET Framework, guiding you on the ideal choice for your containerised applications.45●Break down the principles of microservices architecture, focusing on defining service boundaries, managing distributed data, and understanding inter-service communication patterns (synchronous vs. asynchronous, REST, event-driven).2678...●Dive into the practical aspects of developing microservices with .NET, including:○Creating simple CRUD microservices using ASP.NET Core.12○Implementing API gateways with Ocelot for secure and manageable access to your services.1314○Tackling complex business logic with Domain-Driven Design (DDD) and Command Query Responsibility Segregation (CQRS) patterns.6151617○Leveraging tools like Swagger for API documentation and testing.18○Using message brokers like RabbitMQ for asynchronous communication and event-driven architecture.1920●Discuss strategies for ensuring application resilience, including health checks, logging, and handling partial failures.2122●Address security concerns by implementing authentication and authorization mechanisms in your microservices.2324Whether you're a seasoned developer or just starting your journey with microservices, this podcast provides valuable insights and practical guidance to help you build, deploy, and manage successful containerised .NET applications.
