.NET Core Microservices - The Complete Guide (.NET 6 MVC)

In this course, you'll learn the foundational elements of microservices by building a real microservices-based application with .NET 6. We'll incrementally construct multiple microservices, utilizing IdentityServer for authentication and authorization. The course covers basic blocks of IdentityServer, .NET API, Ocelot, Entity Framework Core, and clean architecture with .NET 6. You'll develop e-commerce modules including product, shopping cart, ordering, payment, and email microservices, using SQL Server and Azure Service Bus with Ocelot API Gateway. By the end of the course, you'll have a complete application with seven fully functional .NET-based microservices, understanding every line of code and their interactions. Topics include .NET 6 microservices architecture, role-based authorization with IdentityServer, Azure Blob Storage basics, and Azure Service Bus. This course is designed for intermediate to advanced developers with a basic understanding of .NET Core and MVC frameworks. Familiarity with C# programming and fundamental web development concepts is recommended.
