What you'll learn

  • Understand how to eliminate distributed transactions through shared-nothing, immutable activity modeling, why you should use event sourcing and CQRS, and when you should build state on-demand versus reading from eventually consistent caches
  • Explore a .NET Core implementation of patterns and solutions
  • Learn how to use materialized views

Description

Kevin Hoffman discusses some of the challenges you may face when you move from “Hello, world” sample services to services solving real problems and explains how to deal with distributed transactions by designing around them with techniques like event sourcing, CQRS, and embracing eventual consistency. Kevin walks you through a suite of services built with ASP.NET Core to illustrate these patterns, including consuming and publishing Kafka events, using Entity Framework Core to materialize views in Postgres, and more.
