.NET Microservices: CQRS & Event Sourcing with Kafka

🎉 Course Title: .NET Microservices: CQRS & Event Sourcing with Kafka

🚀 Headline: Dive Deep into the Power of .NET Microservices by Mastering CQRS & Event Sourcing with Apache Kafka and C#!

Welcome to "Mastering .NET Microservices with CQRS & Event Sourcing using Apache Kafka"! 🚀

In this comprehensive course, you will embark on a journey to understand and implement microservices in C# that are based on the Capture Query Responsibility Separately (CQRS) and Event Sourcing patterns. You'll leverage the power of .NET Core alongside Apache Kafka to build scalable, resilient, and maintainable systems. 🌟

What You Will Learn:

• Foundational Knowledge: Learn the core concepts of CQRS and Event Sourcing without relying on any frameworks. Every line of code will be handcrafted by you!

• Hands-On Experience: Develop a complete understanding of microservices architecture through practical, step-by-step guidance.

• Code Mastery: Write your own CQRS and Event Sourcing framework from scratch using C#.

• Infrastructure Setup: Configure MongoDB as your event store / write database and MS SQL Server as your read database.

• Asynchronous Messaging: Produce and consume events using Apache Kafka, ensuring a robust messaging backbone for your microservices.

Key Skills You'll Acquire:

• Command Handling & Event Raising: Learn to effectively handle commands and trigger events within your system.

• Mediator Pattern: Implement a powerful command and query dispatcher using the mediatory pattern.

• Aggregate State Management: Create and modify aggregate states through event messages.

• Event Versioning & Concurrency Control: Understand and apply event versioning and optimistic concurrency control to maintain data integrity.

• Kafka Integration: Integrate with Apache Kafka to produce and consume events, essential for the asynchronous nature of microservices.

• Database Interaction: Replay the event store to recreate the state of the aggregate, separating read and write concerns.

• Domain-Driven Design (DDD): Apply DDD best practices to structure your code effectively.

• Cross-Database Capabilities: Replay the event store not only to reconstruct the state within MS SQL Server but also to a different database type, such as PostgreSQL.

Your Learning Path:

1. Understanding CQRS & Event Sourcing: Dive into the principles that govern these patterns and how they can benefit your .NET microservices architecture.

2. Designing Your Microservice: Learn to design a robust microservice using the concepts you've learned, with a focus on scalability and maintainability.

3. Implementing CQRS & Event Sourcing: Roll up your sleeves and start coding your own implementation from scratch, without any frameworks.

4. Integrating Apache Kafka: Discover how to integrate Apache Kafka into your microservice architecture for asynchronous communication.

5. Testing Your Implementation: Test your application thoroughly to ensure it behaves as expected under various conditions.

6. Optimizing for Performance and Scalability: Learn best practices for optimizing your microservices for better performance and scalability.

7. Deployment & Monitoring: Get insights into deploying your microservices and setting up monitoring for continuous improvement.

By the end of this course, you will have a solid understanding of how to create .NET microservices that are super decoupled, extremely scalable, and ready to handle real-world demands with CQRS & Event Sourcing. 🏆
