Microservices is more than just a buzzword. They represent a fresh new way of thinking about systems architecture that builds upon the designs and layering of the last two decades, combined with the real-world experiences of building large scalable systems at a size we once thought impossible.

We've all learned about three-tiered architecture: we design our systems with the single responsibility principle, and we have tried different ways to scale and deploy our systems. Microservices combines the best of all these worlds. It aims to build systems that separate responsibility appropriately; that manage, version, and deploy services individually; and that elastically scale, backed by the power of the cloud.

This new generation of cloud-native applications needed a new way of thinking about architecture. Gaurav and Ed have put together a journey that walks you through the process of creating effective microservices, using C# 8 and the new open source, cross-platform .NET Core.

The book covers everything that you'll need, from architecture, an introduction to containers, and how services communicate, to the concepts behind a service mesh. Everything is backed by practical examples in real-world use cases, including IoT.

I'm thrilled that you're coming along this journey with us, and I'm excited to see what you'll be able to build with this new knowledge.
