Migrating From Monolith to Microservices using .NET and Cloud-Native Technologies

🛠️ Workshop Overview

Modernizing legacy monolithic applications into microservices and cloud-native systems is essential for scalability, maintainability, and resilience. This workshop will guide you through the process of breaking down a monolith, designing microservices, and leveraging cloud-native technologies using .NET. You’ll learn practical strategies, tools, and best practices to ensure a smooth and successful migration.

📚 Topics

1. Introduction to Monoliths, Microservices, and Cloud-Native
   • Understanding the limitations of monolithic architectures
   • What are microservices and cloud-native applications?
   • Benefits and challenges of migrating to microservices and cloud-native
2. Strategies for Breaking Down a Monolith
   • Identifying bounded contexts and domain boundaries
   • Incremental refactoring: Strangler Fig Pattern
   • Decoupling dependencies and extracting services
3. Designing Microservices in .NET
   • Principles of microservice design: autonomy, scalability, and resilience
   • Defining service boundaries and contracts
   • Communication patterns: synchronous (REST, gRPC) and asynchronous (message brokers)
4. Building Cloud-Native Applications with .NET
   • Leveraging .NET for cloud-native development
   • Containerizing microservices with Docker
   • Orchestrating microservices with Kubernetes
5. Implementing Cloud-Native Patterns
   • Managing distributed data and consistency
   • Implementing observability: logging, tracing, and metrics with OpenTelemetry
   • Securing microservices: authentication, authorization, and API gateways
6. Advanced Topics
   • Migrating data from a monolith to microservices
   • Managing cross-cutting concerns: configuration, monitoring, and deployment
   • Best practices for testing and deploying microservices in the cloud
7. Hands-On Implementation
   • Lab 1: Identifying bounded contexts in a monolith
   • Lab 2: Extracting a microservice from a monolith
   • Lab 3: Containerizing and deploying microservices with Docker and Kubernetes
   • Lab 4: Implementing observability and security in microservices

🎓 Outcomes

• Understand the principles and benefits of microservices and cloud-native architectures
