C# (.NET) and Microservices: Building Distributed Systems

The book "C# (.NET) and Microservices" is a comprehensive guide to building modern distributed systems on the .NET platform. The author, Alexey Petrov, an experienced architect and developer, shares practical knowledge accumulated over years of working on large enterprise projects.

What is this book about?

The book covers the full development cycle of a microservice application in C# — from architecture design to cloud deployment. You will learn:

• How to properly break a monolithic application into microservices and design their boundaries.
• Key microservice architecture patterns: API Gateway, Service Discovery, Circuit Breaker, Saga, and others.
• Working with Docker and containerization of .NET applications.
• Orchestrating microservices using Kubernetes (K8s).
• Setting up inter-service communication via HTTP/gRPC, message queues (RabbitMQ, Azure Service Bus), and event-driven architecture.
• Ensuring fault tolerance, monitoring, and logging (OpenTelemetry, Serilog, ELK Stack).
• Deploying and managing microservices in the Microsoft Azure cloud.
• Testing microservices: unit tests, integration tests, contract testing (Pact).

Who is this book for?

• C# and .NET developers who want to master microservice architecture.
• Architects and technical leaders designing distributed systems.
• Professionals transitioning from monolithic applications to microservices.
• Anyone interested in modern approaches to development and deployment on the .NET platform.

What will you learn?

After reading the book, you will be able to:

• Design and implement microservice systems in C# using .NET 6/7/8.
• Containerize .NET applications and manage them in Kubernetes.
• Ensure reliable communication between services.
• Implement best practices for observability and fault tolerance.
• Deploy microservices in the Azure cloud using DevOps practices.

The book contains numerous practical examples, ready-to-use code templates, and real-world cases from the author's experience. It is suitable both for beginner developers already familiar with the basics of C# and for experienced professionals looking to deepen their knowledge of microservices.
