Book Description:

Designing enterprise software requires balancing scalability, resilience, security, and agility. This book helps developers and aspiring architects build production-ready applications using C# 14 and .NET 10.

Written by Gabriel Baptista and Francesco Abbruzzese, this updated edition takes a practical approach to software architecture with real-world examples and case studies. You'll learn how to design maintainable distributed systems, apply domain-driven design, and manage architectural decisions using tools such as GitHub Copilot and .NET Aspire.

The book explores software architectural patterns with cloud-native microservices and SOA, along with CI/CD pipelines, DevSecOps automation, Kubernetes orchestration, and secure deployments. You'll also build reusable frontend services and micro-frontends using Blazor and ASP.NET Core.

By the end of this book, you'll be able to architect scalable enterprise .NET applications with confidence.

What You Will Learn:

- Master software architecture principles using .NET 10 and C# 14

- Apply DevSecOps principles and automate pipelines with GitHub Actions

- Use GitHub Copilot to improve coding and testing workflows

- Implement cloud-native microservices with Kubernetes

- Secure applications using bearer tokens and client certificates

- Build reusable C# APIs with NuGet and OpenAPI

- Develop Blazor applications and micro-frontends

- Integrate EF Core and Cosmos DB into enterprise applications

Who this book is for:

This book is for engineers and senior software developers looking to build enterprise applications with the .NET stack. It is also ideal for professionals transitioning into architectural roles who want practical guidance on software architecture, cloud-native development, and tools such as GitHub, Kubernetes, and .NET Aspire. A working knowledge of C# and .NET is recommended.
