Build enterprise-grade applications by mastering architectural patterns, DevOps workflows, and .NET 10 microservices
Key Features
Learn the core principles of software architecture via practical examples and case studies
Build microservices, CI/CD pipelines, and Blazor frontends using GitHub and Azure
Integrate AI-powered tooling and generative features like GitHub Copilot into your workflow
Book DescriptionDesigning enterprise software is more complex than ever, with requirements for scalability, resilience, and agility placing heavy demands on architects. This book helps experienced architects refresh their skills while introducing developers to architectural fundamentals in a relatable way. You'll explore best practices for maintainable code, domain-driven design, and managing architectural decisions using tools like GitHub Copilot and .NET Aspire.
The book starts with key software requirements such as performance, scalability, and usability, showing how architectural decisions support non-functional goals and enable effective CI/CD pipelines and DevOps automation. You'll then apply architectural patterns with microservices and SOA, and design secure, reusable frontend microservices using Blazor and ASP.NET Core.
New to this edition is a stronger focus on generative AI and code automation, including how to use GitHub Copilot to generate and validate code and tests efficiently.
With an expanded case study, you'll apply event sourcing, distributed transactions, container orchestration, and secure deployments using Kubernetes and Helm. By the end, you'll be able to architect complex .NET systems with confidence and deliver scalable, production-ready software.What you will learn
