.NET Microservices Boilerplate

The goal is to build a framework that can make building microservices in .NET easy for developers. This project follows Vertical Slice Architecture along with other latest best practices and tools like CQRS, NoSQL, SQL, MediatR, Serilog, FluentValidations and more.🚀

Goals

❇️ Using Vertical Slice Architecture for architecture level.
❇️ Using Domain Driven Design (DDD) to implement all business processes in microservices.
❇️ Using Rabbitmq on top of MassTranit for Event Driven Architecture between our microservices.
❇️ Using CQRS implementation with MediatR library.
❇️ Using Entity Framework Core for some microservices.
❇️ Using MongoDB for some microservices.
❇️ Using Fluent Validation and a Validation Pipeline Behaviour on top of MediatR.
❇️ Using Minimal API for all endpoints.
❇️ Using Health Check for reporting the health of app infrastructure components.
❇️ Using Tye for local development and debugging.
❇️ Using Built-In Containerization for Docker images.
❇️ Using Zipkin for distributed tracing.
❇️ Using OpenIddict for authentication and authorization base on OpenID-Connect and OAuth2.
❇️ Using Yarp as a microservices gateway.

FluentPos

FluentPos is a sample project that consumes the microservice framework. You will learn a lot by exploring this project, which is located under the ./fluentpos folder.

How to Run ?

Tye

Tye is a super-awesome way to run your applications quickly. The fluentpos project already has this support. Simply run the following at the ./fluentpos directory :

make tye

That's it!

This will spin up all the services required.

Gateway will be available on https://localhost:7002.
Identity Service will be available on https://localhost:7001.
Catalog Service will be available on https://localhost:7003.

To Test these APIs, you can use open up Visual Code from the ./fluentpos directory, install the Thunder Client extension. I have already included the required Test collections at ./fluentpos/thunder-tests.

You can find the specification of services under the ./fluentpos/tye.yaml file.

Docker & Docker-Compose

The fluentpos project comes included with the required docker-compose.yaml and makefile file for your reference.

There are some prerequisites for using these included docker-compose.yml files:

Make sure you have docker installed (on windows install docker desktop)
Create and install an https certificate:
```
dotnet dev-certs https -ep $env:USERPROFILE\.aspnet\https\cert.pfx -p password!
```
Note that the certificate name and password should match the ones that are mentioned in the docker-compose.yaml file.
It's possible that the above step gives you an A valid HTTPS certificate is already present error. In that case you will have to run the following command, and then Re-Run Step #2.
```
 dotnet dev-certs https --clean
```
Trust the certificate
```
 dotnet dev-certs https --trust
```

Once your certificate is trusted, simply navigate into the ./fluentpos folder of the project and run the following command.

make docker-up

This will spin up all the containers required. Your Gateway URL will be available on https://localhost:7002.

To bring down all the fluentpos container, simply run the following.

make docker-down

Note that the default Docker Images that will be pulled are from my public Image Repository (for eg, iammukeshm/fluentpos.identity:latest). You can switch it your variants if required.
