Welcome to Hands-On Microservices with C# . In this book, we will develop a microservice ecosystem that you can immediately put in place in your organization to experience the many benefits of a microservice architecture. No advanced math, no formulas, just straight hands-on development (save a bit of introductory material).

This book is for the developer learning to see a different implementation of microservices than the typical web page or Hello World example. In this book, we will build a real-world microservice ecosystem similar to those I have built for large enterprises. You will have the flexibility to customize every aspect of the process if you so desire.

It is expected that the developer has developed applications before, but no familiarity with microservice architecture is assumed or required. If you have 1-3 years of .NET C# development experience, this book will be a perfect fit for you .

I should note that the microservices within this book, like the book itself, are designed to make your mind open to the many possibilities of a microservice architecture. You can transform any of the microservices into what fits your organization. In fact, this is the goal, that the creative juices will flow and you will turn this ecosystem into something that works best for you.
