Microservices Design Patterns in .NET (2nd Edition)

Microservices Design Patterns in .NET (2nd Edition)
Design, build, and operate resilient, scalable microservices using modern .NET

Updated for .NET 10, C# 14, and cloud-native architectures

📘 About the Book

Microservices Design Patterns in .NET (Second Edition) is a practical, production-focused guide to designing and implementing microservices using modern .NET technologies.

This edition goes beyond theory to explain why architectural patterns exist, when to apply them, and how to implement them safely in real systems. It reflects real-world constraints faced by engineering teams building distributed, cloud-native applications.

This is not a toy-project book. It is written for engineers and architects shipping production systems.

🚀 What’s New in the 2nd Edition

  • Fully updated for .NET 10 and C# 14
  • Expanded coverage of resilience patterns (timeouts, retries, circuit breakers)
  • Deeper implementation guidance for CQRS, event sourcing, and Saga patterns
  • Modern API Gateway and Backend-for-Frontend (BFF) strategies
  • Coverage of micro frontends and frontend integration
  • Serverless and sidecar architectural patterns
  • Production-grade observability with OpenTelemetry
  • Updated security guidance aligned with zero-trust architecture
  • Deployment considerations for Docker and Kubernetes

🧠 What You Will Learn

Architecture & Design

  • When microservices are the right (and wrong) choice
  • Applying Domain-Driven Design to service boundaries
  • Avoiding distributed monoliths
  • Designing for autonomy and scalability

Communication & Data

  • Synchronous vs asynchronous communication
  • Event-driven microservices
  • CQRS and event sourcing in real systems
  • Managing distributed data and eventual consistency
  • Saga patterns for long-running workflows

Resilience & Operations

  • Handling partial failures
  • Designing fault-tolerant systems
  • Monitoring, logging, and tracing microservices
  • Operational trade-offs in production systems

🎯 Who This Book Is For

This book is ideal for:

  • .NET developers building or migrating to microservices
  • Software architects designing distributed systems
  • Senior engineers responsible for system reliability
  • DevOps and platform engineers supporting microservices in production
You should already be comfortable with C# and ASP.NET Core. This book focuses on architecture and system design, not basic syntax.

🏗️ Real-World Focus

Unlike many microservices books, this one:

  • Avoids unrealistic demo architectures
  • Emphasizes trade-offs, not dogma
  • Treats operations as first-class concerns
  • Reflects real enterprise and SaaS constraints
  • Scales from small teams to large platforms

The goal is not microservices for their own sake—it is sustainable architecture.
