C# Microservices Web Applications: Building Scalable, Service-Oriented, Modern, Enterprise Applications (Web Development Series)

Why This Book: Breaking Monoliths into Resilient Independent Services

Monolithic applications grow difficult to change, scale, and maintain, and splitting them into services introduces its own challenges. This book addresses that problem by showing how to design around bounded contexts, choose communication styles, and manage data across service boundaries. Readers gain a clear, practical understanding of why each decision matters, so they can build C# services that stay reliable as systems and teams grow.

What This Book Is About: Thirty-Module Journey Through Service-Oriented C# Systems

This book covers C# Microservices Web Applications across thirty modules, moving from microservices fundamentals and .NET Core setup through design, REST APIs, messaging, containers, and Kubernetes. It continues into testing, deployment pipelines, advanced C# techniques, governance, and micro frontends. Each module builds on the last, giving a thorough, practical path from a first service to enterprise-scale systems operating in production.

What You Will Learn from this Book: Core Services, Infrastructure, Security, Operations, and Patterns

Design services with domain-driven design, bounded contexts, and monolith decomposition strategies. Connect services through REST, message brokers, RabbitMQ event buses, and event sourcing with CQRS. Route traffic using Consul service discovery, load balancing, Ocelot gateways, and Istio service mesh. Secure systems with OAuth2, OpenID Connect, SSL/TLS, and Identity Server. Package and run services with Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines, blue-green deployments, and canary releases. Maintain reliability through circuit breakers, observability, Jaeger tracing, and Pact contract testing.
