Practical Serverless and Microservices with C#: Build resilient and secure microservices with the .NET stack and embrace serverless development in Azure

From the authors of the Software Architecture with C# and .NET series comes this practical and grounded showcase of microservices using the .NET stack.

Written for .NET developers entering the world of modern cloud and distributed applications, it shows you when microservices and serverless architectures are the right choice for building scalable enterprise solutions and when they’re not. You’ll gain a realistic understanding of their use cases and limitations. Rather than promoting microservices as a one-size-fits-all solution, it encourages thoughtful adoption based on real-world needs.

Following a brief introduction and important setup, the book helps you prepare for practical application through examples such as a ride-sharing website. You’ll work with Docker, Kubernetes, Azure Container Apps, and the new .NET Aspire with considerations for security, observability, and cost management. The book culminates in a complete event-driven application that brings together everything you've covered.

By the end of the book, you’ll have a well-rounded understanding of cloud and distributed .NET—viewed through the lens of two industry veterans.
