Build cloud-native distributed .NET applications with Aspire, ASP.NET Core microservices, generative AI, semantic search, and Azure deployment.Key FeaturesBuild an end-to-end distributed e-commerce system with AI capabilitiesIntegrate PostgreSQL, Redis, RabbitMQ, Keycloak, and Ollama with AspireDeploy secure, AI-enabled microservices to Azure Container AppsBook DescriptionBuild practical AI-powered distributed applications by seeing how microservices, messaging, security, data services, and generative AI work together in one project. This book guides you through building a cloud-native e-commerce application with independently deployed services, reliable communication, specialized data stores, and intelligent features.You'll use Aspire to orchestrate Catalog and Basket microservices, configure service discovery, and integrate PostgreSQL and Redis. You'll implement synchronous communication and asynchronous messaging with RabbitMQ and MassTransit, secure Basket APIs with Keycloak and JWT bearer tokens, and connect a Blazor frontend to the distributed backend.You'll then add generative AI capabilities using Microsoft.Extensions.AI, Microsoft Agent Framework, and Ollama. You'll build customer-support Q&A and semantic product search using embeddings and vector storage before deploying the application to Azure Container Apps.Written by software and solutions architect Mehmet Ozkaya, who has more than 15 years of industry experience and has taught more than 200,000 students, this book combines hands-on development with architectural guidance. By the end, you'll be able to design, orchestrate, secure, enhance, and deploy AI-enabled distributed .NET applications.What you will learnDesign cloud-native distributed systems with AspireBuild Catalog and Basket microservices with ASP.NET CoreOrchestrate PostgreSQL and Redis as backing servicesImplement event-driven messaging with RabbitMQ and MassTransitSecure microservice endpoints with Keycloak and JWT bearer tokensBuild enterprise AI features with Microsoft.Extensions.AI, Ollama, and Microsoft Agent FrameworkImplement semantic search with embeddings and vector storageDeploy distributed applications to Azure Container AppsWho this book is for.NET developers, software engineers, and solution architects who want to build cloud-native distributed applications and add generative AI capabilities will benefit from this book. It is also suited to developers exploring microservices, event-driven architecture, Aspire, and AI integration.
