Building Microservices with .NET Core and Kubernetes: A Comprehensive Guide
3 min readSep 1, 2024
Introduction
Microservices architecture has become a standard for building scalable, high-performance, and resilient applications. .NET Core, with its lightweight runtime and rich ecosystem, is an excellent choice for building microservices. When combined with Kubernetes for orchestration, .NET Core provides a powerful platform for developing cloud-native applications. In this article, we’ll build a microservices-based application using .NET Core and deploy it on a Kubernetes cluster.
1. Overview of Microservices and Kubernetes
Microservices are small, independently deployable services that work together to form a larger application. Kubernetes is an open-source platform that automates the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications.
Key benefits of microservices:
- Scalability: Each service can be scaled independently.
- Resilience: Failure of one service does not affect the entire application.
- Agility: Independent development and deployment cycles.
