As part of the series of posts announced at this initial blog post (.NET Application Architecture Guidance) that explores each of the architecture areas currently covered by our team, this current blog post focuses on “Microservices and Docker containers: Architecture, Patterns and Development guidance”.
Just as a reminder, the four introductory blog posts of this series will be the following:
- Microservices and Docker containers: Architecture, Patterns and Development guidance
- Web Applications with ASP.NET Core Architecture and Patterns guidance
- Production Ready Cloud applications with Azure Architecture guidance
- Mobile Apps with Xamarin.Forms Architecture and Patterns guidance
The microservices architecture is emerging as an important approach for distributed mission-critical applications. In a microservice-based architecture, the application is built on a collection of services that can be developed, tested, deployed, and versioned independently. In addition, enterprises are increasingly realizing cost savings, solving deployment problems, and improving DevOps and production operations by using containers (Docker engine based as de facto standard).
Microsoft has been releasing container innovations for Windows and Linux by creating products like Azure Container Service and Azure Service Fabric, and by partnering with industry leaders like Docker, Mesosphere, and Kubernetes. These products deliver container solutions that help companies build and deploy applications at cloud speed and scale, whatever their choice of platform or tools…
