This specialization features Coursera Coach! A smarter way to learn with interactive, real-time conversations that help you test your knowledge, challenge assumptions, and deepen your understanding as you progress through the specialization.
In this specialization, you will explore microservices using .NET 8, focusing on design patterns like Domain-Driven Design (DDD), Command Query Responsibility Segregation (CQRS), and Clean Architecture. The course takes a hands-on approach to developing scalable microservices, integrating .NET 8 with modern practices. You'll start by learning microservices architecture, followed by tools like gRPC for communication and Docker for containerization.
The course walks you through building and deploying e-commerce microservices for catalog, basket, and ordering services. Asynchronous communication with RabbitMQ and MassTransit is also covered, along with cloud deployment techniques using Docker and Docker-Compose.
This specialization is ideal for developers with programming experience who want to advance their .NET skills. It’s designed for those interested in microservices patterns and modern .NET practices. Familiarity with C# and .NET is required; cloud and Docker knowledge is helpful.
By the end of the specialization, you will be able to build and deploy scalable microservices using .NET 8, implement communication patterns with gRPC and RabbitMQ, and containerize microservices with Docker for production environments.
Applied Learning Project
Throughout the specialization, you will work on real-world projects that involve building microservices for an e-commerce platform. You'll design and implement microservices for catalog, basket, and ordering systems, applying DDD and CQRS patterns. The projects include integrating gRPC for high-performance communication, using Docker for containerization, and deploying these services in a cloud-native environment with Docker-Compose. These hands-on projects will help you apply the skills learned and prepare you for real-world microservices development.
