Microservices on Pluralsight
This course is part of the microservices learning path
on Pluralsight

Building Communicating Securing and
Architecting

In This Course
Domain Logic Testing Authorization
How to structure the Types of tests Inter-service
code? Combined strategy communication
Data mapping Security
Microservices give us flexibility and
Overview freedom
Value of standardization
eShopOnContainers sample application
- Architectural overview
- How to run it locally with Docker
What Are Microservices?
autonomous,
independently
deployable services…
They are small enough to be
rewritten if necessary
…collaborate to They own their own data
form an application
Other microservices can only access
that data through the public API
Avoid breaking changes to the API
Microservices Give You Options
Programming Language Database
In this course: C# Relational (e.g. SQL Server)
Java, Node.js, Python, Go, etc. Document (e.g. Mongo)
In-memory (e.g. Redis)
Communication Style Hosting Platform
HTTP-based web API Docker and Kubernetes
Messaging via an event bus Serverless Functions-as-a-Service
RESTful APIs, gRPC Directly on Virtual Machines
Flexibility and Freedom
Choose the best tool for the job
Adopt new technologies
Avoid getting stuck on legacy frameworks
Benefits of Standardization
Developer Consistent approach to
productivity deployment and monitoring
Logging Health checks
Configuration Authentication
Microservices give you freedom to choose the best
tool for the job
Microservice applications benefit from
standardization to boost developer productivity
Introducing our demo application:
eShopOnContainers
https://github.com/dotnet-architecture/eShopOnContainers
E-commerce Non-trivial Actively Maintained
Containerized Cross-platform Great documentation
eShopOnContainers Tech Stack
ASP.NET
C#
Core
Microservices principles can be applied in any programming language
eShopOnContainers Architecture
Development Environment Setup
Install Docker Desktop (Windows or Mac)
1 https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop
Clone eShopOnContainers source code
2
git clone https://github.com/dotnet-architecture/eShopOnContainers.git
Increase Docker Desktop available memory to 4GB (in Advanced Settings)
3
Configure Windows firewall rules (using supplied PowerShell script)
4
.\cli-windows\add-firewall-rules-for-sts-auth-thru-docker.ps1
Demo
Running eShopOnContainers locally
- docker-compose up
- docker-compose.yml
Microservices give us freedom to choose
the best tools for the job
Summary Standardization can simplify
development, deployment and
monitoring
eShopOnContainers sample application
- ASP.NET Core and C#
- Standardized logging and health
checks
- Different technologies (e.g. databases)
