Introduction to Microservices with .NET

Transitioning from monolithic applications to distributed systems can feel overwhelming, but modern .NET makes building microservices highly accessible. This text-based course guides you through the fundamental principles of microservices architecture, teaching you how to break down complex applications into manageable, independent services. You will learn to establish clean service boundaries, manage data isolation, and handle communication between services effectively. What you'll learn: - Understand the core concepts, benefits, and architectural patterns of microservices - Design and build lightweight, high-performance services using .NET Minimal APIs - Implement synchronous and asynchronous inter-service communication patterns - Configure and run containerized services using foundational Docker concepts - Apply dependency injection and configuration management for maintainable code - Explore essential service discovery, logging, and API gateway strategies Starting with key terminology and architectural definitions, the course moves step-by-step through practical written explanations and structured code snippets. You will learn how to structure, run, and connect individual services in a cohesive ecosystem. This course is designed for backend developers, software engineers, and students who are familiar with C# and want to transition into distributed systems development. No prior microservices experience is required. Start reading today to build a solid foundation in modern distributed systems with .NET.
