In this article, I’m going to focus a bit about a few Http related behaviors in .NET that are needed in every microservice or API, but not easily done or found in the wild. This article is part of a series that tries to look at challenges that faces .NET…

I’ve been working on Microservices for quiet some time now, using the dotnet core (mostly 2.2) to build APIs that call each others and would be consumed by front end. …

This post is part of a series: Introduction to Microservices for .NET Developers In previous posts of this series we explained the life-cycle of DevOps for containers. And we talked about: How to BUILD your application with Docker. How to SHIP it to a container registry. In this post we…

What is Ingress? Ingress in IT terms are traffic coming from outside the network (or in our case the cluster) that wants to reach one of our internal services.

It’s opposite to Monolithic architecture, where you have a single repository/team working on the same application. What differentiates it is that it gives more emphasis on: Hard boundaries between services Different…
