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. Youll 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. Youll 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, youll apply event sourcing, distributed transactions, container orchestration, and secure deployments using Kubernetes and Helm. By the end, youll be able to architect complex .NET systems with confidence and deliver scalable, production-ready software.What you will learn
Apply DevOps principles and automate pipelines with GitHub Actions Use GitHub Copilot to improve coding and testing workflows Implement microservices and orchestrate them with Kubernetes Secure applications with bearer tokens, OpenAPI, and cloud-native practices Build and document reusable C# components with Nuget and Swagger Develop dynamic Blazor applications and micro-frontends Integrate advanced data access layers using EF Core and Cosmos DB
Who this book is forThis book is for engineers and senior software developers looking to build enterprise applications with the .NET stack. This book is also ideal for professionals transitioning into architectural roles who want practical guidance using tools like GitHub, Kubernetes, and .NET Aspire. A working knowledge of C# and .NET is recommended.
