DEV415: Microservices with ASP.NET Core and Docker

Microservices provide an architectural pattern that allows applications to be written in a more flexible and re-usable manner. They offer several benefits such as better re-use, simplified maintenance, ability to handle change requests and business rules changes more easily, independent versioning and deployment of services, increased productivity for new and existing team members, the option to scale out one or more application features, integration between multiple technologies, and much more. These benefits and several others will be discussed throughout the course so that students understand the overall goals of Microservices and where they work well in enterprise-scale applications. Challenges associated with Microservices are also discussed since we believe it’s critical to understand not only the pros, but also the cons and associated challenges.
