How to Develop Applications in .

NET Using
Microservices
This guide provides a practical roadmap for building scalable microservices-based applications
using .NET, [Link] Core, Docker, and cloud-native practices.

1. Understand Microservices Architecture


Microservices split a large application into small, independently deployable services. Each service
owns its data, business logic, and deployment lifecycle. Benefits include scalability, maintainability,
technology flexibility, and faster deployments.

2. Define Service Boundaries


Use Domain-Driven Design (DDD) principles to identify bounded contexts. Examples: User Service,
Product Service, Order Service, Payment Service, Notification Service. Avoid creating overly small
services.

3. Create [Link] Core Microservices


Create independent Web API projects using [Link] Core. Implement Clean Architecture with
layers: API, Application, Domain, Infrastructure. Use Dependency Injection and Repository patterns
where appropriate.

4. Database per Service


Each microservice should own its database. Common choices include SQL Server, PostgreSQL,
Cosmos DB, or MongoDB. Avoid sharing databases across services.

5. Service Communication
Synchronous: REST APIs or gRPC. Asynchronous: Azure Service Bus, RabbitMQ, Kafka, or AWS
SQS. Prefer event-driven communication for loosely coupled systems.

6. API Gateway
Use YARP or Ocelot as an API Gateway. Responsibilities include routing, authentication, rate
limiting, and aggregation.

7. Authentication & Authorization


Implement OAuth2/OpenID Connect using Microsoft Entra ID, IdentityServer, or Auth0. Use JWT
tokens between services.
8. Containerization with Docker
Package each service in a Docker container. Create Dockerfiles and use Docker Compose for local
development.

9. Orchestration with Kubernetes


Deploy containers using Kubernetes (AKS, EKS, GKE). Configure deployments, services, ingress
controllers, autoscaling, and secrets.

10. Observability
Implement centralized logging, metrics, and tracing. Recommended stack: Serilog, OpenTelemetry,
Application Insights, Prometheus, and Grafana.

11. Resilience Patterns


Use Polly for retries, circuit breakers, fallback policies, and timeout handling. Implement
idempotency for critical operations.

12. CI/CD
Automate build, test, security scanning, container creation, and deployment using GitHub Actions,
Azure DevOps, or Jenkins.

13. Recommended Learning Path


[Link] Core → Clean Architecture → Docker → Messaging (RabbitMQ/Azure Service Bus) →
Kubernetes → Observability → Cloud Deployment (Azure/AWS).

Sample Technology Stack


.NET 8, [Link] Core Web API, Entity Framework Core, SQL Server, RabbitMQ/Azure Service
Bus, YARP Gateway, Docker, Kubernetes, OpenTelemetry, Serilog, Azure DevOps.
