Course Description:

Dive into the World of Microservices with Real-World Application Building! 🐘➡️🌐

Instructor: Neil Cummings
Platform: [Your Online Learning Platform]

What You Will Learn:

• Creating Backend Services with .Net - We'll start from the ground up, learning how to construct robust backend services in .Net that form the core of our application.
• Service Communication - Discover how to implement inter-service communication using RabbitMQ for message brokering and gRPC for high-performance RPCs.
• Identity Management with IdentityServer - Set up a secure authentication system using IdentityServer to manage identities within our app.
• Building a Gateway with Microsoft YARP - Learn how to create an API gateway that routes requests and aggregates responses, which is crucial for microservices architecture.
• Client-Side Application Development with Next.js - Utilize the latest features in Next.js 13.4, including the new App Router, to build a dynamic and responsive client-side app.
• Real-Time Interactions with SignalR - Implement push notifications in the client application using SignalR for an interactive user experience.
• Dockerization of Services - Containerize our services using Docker to ensure consistency across different environments.
• CI/CD Pipelines with GitHub Actions - Automate the deployment process with continuous integration and delivery pipelines using GitHub Actions.
• Ingress Controllers Setup - Configure ingress controllers for managing external access to the services in our app.
• Local Publishing with Docker Compose - Run and test your application locally without any cloud service dependencies, using Docker Compose.

Course Goals:

The primary goal of this course is to empower you to build an entire microservices-based application from scratch and run it locally. With the knowledge gained, you'll be well on your way to deploying your app on a Kubernetes cluster if you choose to take it that far. 🚀

Additional Content in Appendices:

1. Unit and Integration Testing - Master the art of testing your services to ensure reliability and maintainability.
2. Local Publishing to Kubernetes - Learn how to deploy your application to a local Kubernetes setup for real-world testing.
3. Publishing to an Internet-Facing Kubernetes Cluster - Get your app live on the internet with a full cloud deployment.

Tools Needed:

• Visual Studio Code - The versatile and free code editor that's perfect for this course, regardless of your operating system. (Windows, Linux, or macOS)
• Docker - A must-have tool as it's integral to the containerization process for this course. Ensure your computer can run Docker.
