2-Day Hands-On Training Seminar: Design, Build and Deliver a Microservices Solution the Cloud Native Way

April 13-14, 2023

9:00AM – 5:00PM (Central)

Level: Intermediate

In this seminar, we will take you from start to finish when it comes to building a Software as a Service solution based on a microservices architecture in a cloud-native way. We start with the foundation for success by designing the microservices solution. How do you define service boundaries, what are smells of wrong boundaries, and how do you replicate data in a system that is inherently eventually consistent?

Next, we show you how you can translate a microservices design into actual services that you can then run in the Azure Cloud. We will go through the creation of the services, the containerization of these services, and the delivery to a cloud-native platform like Azure Kubernetes Services. We will help you translate the created solution to the way this is deployed to the cluster and how you can deploy these services with zero downtime.

Next, we will improve the solution to make use of various cloud-native services, using a Distributed Application Runtime that helps you build resilient cloud-native microservices. For this, we will introduce you to DAPR and show you how you can improve your solution by incorporating pub/sub messaging, in- and outbound bindings, and improve service-to-service interaction by using the service invocation building block.

Once we have our set of microservices up and running in the cloud, the next step is to deliver new features in a cloud-native way. This means we run a 24x7 operation, and we take a DevOps and SRE approach to the delivery of the software to production. We will also look at the development process, how we automate everything and how we are able to deploy new features also when they involve database schema changes.

At the end of this seminar, you have combined many things that you could see in individual sessions throughout a 5-day conference. Here we combine them all and make all of the pieces of the puzzle fit into place. In 2-days, you will have learned how to build and deliver a world-class SaaS solution on the Azure Cloud.

You will learn:

Microservices design
Implementing microservices with ASP.NET core and DAPR
Containerization of the solution and deployment to Azure Kubernetes services
Continuous Delivery of a microservices-based SaaS solution in a cloud-native way

Prerequisite:

Basic knowledge of C#

Attendee Workstation Requirements:
You must provide your own computer (Windows or Mac) for this hands-on lab workshop with a camera, wired Internet connection, speakers, and a microphone.
