Building Microservices with ASP.NET Core: Develop, Test, and Deploy Cross-Platform
At a time when nearly every vertical, regardless of domain, seems to need software running in the cloud to make money, microservices provide the agility and drastically reduced time to market you require. This hands-on guide shows you how to create, test, compile, and deploy microservices, using the ASP.NET Core free and open-source framework. Along the way, youíll pick up good, practical habits for building powerful and robust services.
Building microservices isnít about learning a specific framework or programming language; itís about building applications that thrive in elastically scaling environments that don't have host affinity, and that can start and stop at a momentís notice. This practical book guides you through the process.
Learn test-driven and API-first development concepts Communicate with other services by creating and consuming backing services such as databases and queues Build a microservice that depends on an external data source Learn about event sourcing, the event-centric approach to persistence Use ASP.NET Core to build web applications designed to thrive in the cloud Build a service that consumes, or is consumed by, other services Create services and applications that accept external configuration Explore ways to secure ASP.NET Core microservices and applications232 pages, Paperback

A .NET Core book about micoservices? Not really.
It's a book about building (technical aspects only!) small, theoretically independent micro-Web-Apis with ASP.NET Core. Needless to say, this is very far from actual, running, maintainable, "healthy" ecosystem of microservices. Not really surprisingly, technical aspects of ASP.NET Core are covered quite well, but all the other (really challenging) ones are barely scratched. Namely:
* there's a chapter about event sourcing & CQRS - seriously, is this the key part of building a microservice? c'mon ...
* there's a chapter about service discovery - it's actually quite fine
* a chapter about configuration management (as a subset of full solution provisioning and automation) -> I find it insufficient
* there's a chapter about ... web sockets ... yes, another critical ;P elements of microservices ...
And that's pretty much it. What about other, more vital aspects? Design principles? Dependency management (layering vs mesh, contract maintenance, binary contract vs open standards, etc.)? Monitoring?
I can't really recommend this book. It has two advantages: it's aimed at .NET devs (& majority of microservice-related books are either very generic or focus on different stacks) & it presents how to integrate Netlix OSS stack (in-general JVM-based) with ASP.NET Core - this is an interesting concept & book describes it quite well. But these are the only significant pros I can identify here ... ;/ The rest is just too shallow & uninspired.

A good starting point to understand using microservices with ASP.NET Core if used in conjunction with the free Microsoft Microservices and Docker containers Architecture ebook https://www.microsoft.com/net/learn/a...
