Overview of this book

The microservices architectural style promotes the development of complex applications as a suite of small services based on business capabilities. This book will help you identify the appropriate service boundaries within your business. We'll start by looking at what microservices are and their main characteristics. Moving forward, you will be introduced to real-life application scenarios; after assessing the current issues, we will begin the journey of transforming this application by splitting it into a suite of microservices using C# 7.0 with .NET Core 2.0. You will identify service boundaries, split the application into multiple microservices, and define service contracts. You will find out how to configure, deploy, and monitor microservices, and configure scaling to allow the application to quickly adapt to increased demand in the future. With an introduction to reactive microservices, you’ll strategically gain further value to keep your code base simple, focusing on what is more important rather than on messy asynchronous calls.

Testing Microservices

Quality assurance, or testing, is a great way to assess a system, program, or an application with different aspects. Sometimes, a system requires testing to identify erroneous code, on other occasions we may need it to assess our system's business compliance. Testing can vary from system to system and can be considerably different depending on the architectural style of the application. Everything depends on how we are strategizing our testing approach or plan. For example, testing a monolith .NET application is different to testing SOA or microservices. In this chapter, we will cover these topics:
