Description

Is your team suffering the symptoms of the monolithic hell? Are you wondering if a microservices architecture is the right fit for your .NET project? Have you been asked to implement microservices and you don't know where to start? Are you just curious about this trendy new term? In this course you will learn why you may want to embrace a microservices architecture and how to get started by using the .NET platform.

You will learn the foundational elements of microservices by incrementally building a real microservices based application with .NET 5, step by step. The first two microservices of this application are built in this course, each storing their data in a Docker hosted MongoDB database and both communicating asynchronously via a RabbitMQ message broker and MassTransit.

But we will not jump straight to the ideal implementation, we will start with a very simple and "naive" implementation, we will learn about common mistakes when implementing microservices, we will learn about multiple techniques and patterns in the microservices world and finally we will arrive to a nice implementation based on best practices.

By the end of this course you will have an application with two fully working .NET based microservices but most importantly you will understand every line of code, how the microservices work together and why we ended up with the final implementation.

Who this course is for:

Beginner C# / .NET developers wanting to get a deep understanding of the microservices building blocks

Experienced C# / .NET developers new to microservices that want to understand this modern architecture makes sense for their projects

Anyone willing to learn by doing. Even if you have never built an ASPNET Core app you should not have problems with this course since I will explain every line of code in detail
