Microservices Development Revolution with .Net5 and Dapr

Revolutionize Microservices Development with Dapr: A Comprehensive Course

Dive into the world of microservices architecture and learn how to build resilient, scalable applications with Dapr (Distributed Application Runtime). This course provides a practical, step-by-step guide to mastering Dapr, a groundbreaking technology from Microsoft designed to simplify microservices development.

What You'll Learn:

• Microservices vs. Monolithic Architecture: Understand the fundamental differences between these architectural styles and why microservices are gaining popularity.
• The Rise of Dapr: Discover the reasons behind Microsoft's development of Dapr and how it addresses the challenges of distributed systems.
• Dapr Components: Explore the core components of the Dapr technology and their specific use cases.
• Dapr Installation & Updates: Learn how to install and update the Dapr library globally on your local machine.
• Dapr & Docker Integration: Understand the relationship between Dapr and Docker and how they work together.
• Sidecar Technology: Grasp the concept of sidecar technology and its role in simplifying microservices development.
• Service Invocation (Service Discovery): Learn about the Service Invocation Block (also known as the Service Discovery Block) and how Dapr simplifies service discovery.
• Dapr .NET SDK: Get hands-on experience with the Dapr SDK for .NET.
• Building a Simple Microservices Project: Start building! Create a complete microservices project with a web frontend and web API backend, automatically discovering the backend service.
• Asynchronous Communication with Pub/Sub: Master the PubSub Messaging Building Block for easy asynchronous communication between microservices, eliminating complex plumbing code.
• Designing a Distributed Microservices Application: Learn to design and build a fully functional distributed application with four microservices, leveraging the free Azure Face API for face detection.
• Step-by-Step Development: Follow a detailed, step-by-step approach, from developing the web interface to testing inter-service collaboration at each stage.
• Azure Face API Integration: Learn how to obtain an authentication key from the Azure Face API portal and utilize it to send photos and retrieve face image coordinates.
• Docker Containerization: Spin up Docker containers for MSSQLServer and MailDev for email functionality.
• Entity Framework Core Migrations: Create database migrations using Entity Framework Core, manage database creation and table definitions during design time, and automatically run migrations at runtime.
• Image Processing with 3rd Party Libraries: Utilize third-party image processing libraries to crop face images based on detected face coordinates.
• Input/Output Bindings: Understand and effectively use Input and Output Bindings from the Dapr library.
• Cron Jobs with Dapr: Implement scheduled tasks using the Dapr Input Binding Block to trigger web API endpoints at regular intervals.
• State Management with Redis: Use Redis as a key/value pair data store through the State Management Building Block.
• Messaging with Redis: Leverage Redis as a messaging instrument when using the Pub/Sub Building Block.
• Telemetry & Diagnostics with Zipkin: Explore telemetry and diagnostics using Zipkin with Dapr via the Dapr dashboard.
• Orchestration with Tye: Learn to orchestrate microservices using Microsoft's Tye Project, utilizing tye.yaml files (similar to Docker Compose) without writing Dockerfiles. Debug Tye-based applications.
• Structured Logging with SEQ: Utilize SEQ, a structured logging server, for efficient log analysis and drill-down queries.
