Architecting software solutions using microservices, DevOps, and design patterns for Azure Cloud

Software architecture is the practice of implementing structures and systems that streamline the software development process and improve the quality of an app. With this software architecture book, you’ll follow a hands-on approach to learning various architectural methods that will help you develop and deliver high-quality products.

This book covers the following exciting features:

• Overcome real-world architectural challenges and solve design consideration issues
• Apply architectural approaches like Layered Architecture, service-oriented architecture (SOA), and microservices
• Learn to use tools like containers, Docker, and Kubernetes to manage microservices
• Get up to speed with Azure Cosmos DB for delivering multi-continental solutions
• Learn how to program and maintain Azure Functions using C#
• Understand when to use test-driven development (TDD) as an approach for software development
• Write automated functional test cases for your projects

All of the code is organized into folders. For example, Chapter02.

The code will look like the following:

[Fact]
public void Test1()
{
var myInstanceToTest = new ClassToTest();
Assert.Equal(5, myInstanceToTest.MethodToTest(1));
}

Following is what you need for this book: This book is for engineers and senior developers aspiring to become architects or looking to build enterprise applications with the .NET Stack. Experience with C# and .NET is required to understand this book.
