We’ve all read various ‘best practices’ posts about this framework and that framework from expert developers in the community. They’ll cover topics regarding how to make your application more maintainable and how to drive down the risk of maintenance in your applications. A common design recommendation is to structure your applications so that you compose the objects you are working on. The MVC framework is a good example that demonstrates this technique. You compose controller objects in MVC using constructor dependency injection so that the other facilities that our controllers need like loggers and databas...

This post was written by Vaijanath Angadihiremath, a software engineer on the .NET team. This tutorial is for users who already have a group of ASP.NET Core services which they want to host as microservices in Azure using Azure Service Fabric. Azure Service Fabric is a great way to host microservices in a PaaS world to obtain many benefits like high density, scalability and upgradability. In this tutorial, I will take a self-contained ASP.NET Core service targeting the .NETCoreApp framework and host it as a guest executable in Service Fabric. Writing cross platform services/apps using the same code base is one o...
