Architecture Styles and Patterns
eShopOnContainers
Cross-platform .NET sample microservices and container-based application that runs on Linux, Windows, and macOS. Powered by .NET 6, Docker Containers, Azure Kubernetes Services and it supports Visual Studio, VS for Mac and CLI-based environments.
The architecture proposes a microservice-oriented architecture implementation with multiple autonomous microservices (each one owning its own data/db) and implementing different approaches within each microservice (simple CRUD vs. DDD/CQRS patterns) using HTTP as the communication protocol between the client apps and the microservices and supports asynchronous communication for data updates propagation across multiple services based on Integration Events and an Event Bus (a light message broker, to choose between RabbitMQ or Azure Service Bus, underneath) plus other features defined at the roadmap.
