Manual Pattern Implementation vs. Infrastructure Fragility
Strengths
Low-level pattern construction
The instruction emphasizes building the mediator pattern, command dispatchers, and event stores from scratch rather than using external libraries.

Learn how to create microservices in C# that are based on CQRS and Event Sourcing. Powered by .NET and Apache Kafka.

Editorial course preview
These 3 complementary views highlight concrete, legible examples from the course presentation.
This slide outlines the core curriculum for a course on .NET Microservices, detailing specific goals such as implementing CQRS patterns, using MongoDB and SQL Server, and managing event sourcing.
This slide outlines the course curriculum for .NET Microservices using CQRS and Event Sourcing with Kafka, detailing objectives such as implementing MongoDB and SQL Server databases.
This slide outlines advanced .NET microservices concepts, specifically explaining how to replay the event store to reconstruct both the Aggregate state and the entire read database.
The curriculum includes specific steps for replaying event stores to recreate state or migrate between different database types like MS SQL and PostgreSQL.
One sampled review suggests that learners have reported that specific Kafka and Zookeeper images required for the initial Docker setup are no longer active or available on Docker Hub.
The development flow can feel disconnected, making it difficult to see how individual event handlers and repositories integrate into a cohesive system.
The content relies on .NET 6, and learners using newer versions like .NET 10 may encounter compatibility issues with the provided setup.
The curriculum aligns with the target audience of software engineers and architects interested in pattern-based microservices.
