Implementing Cross-cutting Concerns for ASP.NET Core 3 Microservices
This course will help you learn about implementing cross-cutting concerns in ASP.NET Core microservices. You will explore applying correlated, structured logging and health checks to support running distributed microservices in production.
What you'll learn
This course will help you on your journey when building microservice applications using ASP.NET Core.
In this course, Implementing Cross-cutting Concerns for ASP.NET Core Microservices, you will learn how to implement logging and health checks in your microservices.
First, you will discover the importance of logging and some of the challenges that microservices introduce. Next, you will implement logging in several microservices, taking into consideration how log messages produced across microservice boundaries can be correlated and aggregated to form a complete story about a request or operation. Finally, you will explore how to apply health checks to ASP.NET Core microservices to support liveness and readiness checks, used to monitor services in production.
When you are finished with this course, you will have the skills and knowledge to apply logging and health checks in .NET Core microservices.
