Microsoft .NET Microservices Architecture Guide (v7.0)
This skill provides access to the complete official Microsoft guide: ".NET Microservices Architecture for Containerized .NET Applications" (Edition v7.0 - Updated to ASP.NET Core 7.0).
When to Use This Skill
Invoke this skill when you need:
- Detailed technical information from the official Microsoft guide
- Specific implementation patterns or code examples
- In-depth explanations beyond your summarized knowledge
- Official Microsoft recommendations for microservices architecture
- Reference to eShopOnContainers implementation details
- Comprehensive coverage of specific topics (DDD, CQRS, Docker, Kubernetes, etc.)
What This Skill Contains
The complete 350-page Microsoft guide (text content only) including:
- Container fundamentals and Docker concepts
- Choosing between .NET and .NET Framework
- Microservices architecture principles
- API Gateway patterns
- Event-driven architecture
- Domain-Driven Design (DDD) tactical and strategic patterns
- CQRS (Command Query Responsibility Segregation)
- Data management in microservices
- Resilience patterns (Circuit Breaker, Retry, Bulkhead)
- Security best practices
- Kubernetes and orchestration
- eShopOnContainers reference application details
- Complete code examples and implementation guidance
- All architectural concepts explained in text (diagrams removed for size optimization)
How to Use
When a user asks about:
- Specific technical details you need to verify
- Code implementation examples
- eShopOnContainers architecture details
- Official Microsoft recommendations
- Complex patterns requiring detailed explanations
Invoke this skill and follow the procedure below.
Core Procedure
- Restate the architecture decision or implementation question in concrete terms: boundary, service, data ownership, deployment target, and failure mode.
- Search the guide for the relevant pattern rather than relying on memory alone.
- Separate Microsoft guide recommendations from project-specific constraints or newer platform guidance.
- Prefer decision matrices over one-size-fits-all answers for sync vs async calls, gateway placement, data ownership, and deployment topology.
- When giving code or YAML, label it as a focused pattern excerpt and ask the implementation agent to adapt it to the user's runtime/version.
- Call out trade-offs: autonomy vs consistency, latency vs resilience, operational simplicity vs scalability.
Quick Pattern Map
| User intent | Guide area to inspect | |---|---| | Define service boundaries | DDD, bounded contexts, data ownership | | Choose HTTP vs messaging | Communication in microservices, integration events | | Add API gateway | API Gateway patterns, Ocelot/YARP considerations | | Improve resilience | Retry, circuit breaker, timeout, health checks, Polly | | Split databases | Data sovereignty, eventual consistency, CQRS | | Deploy containers | Docker, Kubernetes, orchestrators, environment configuration |
Full Microsoft Guide Content
The complete guide is available in this skill directory at:
NET-Microservices-Architecture.md
When you invoke this skill, you have access to read this file which contains the full 350-page Microsoft guide with all technical details, code examples, architecture patterns, and implementation guidance.
Usage Instructions
When this skill is invoked:
- Read the NET-Microservices-Architecture.md file in this directory
- Use Grep to search for specific topics the user is asking about
- Provide detailed, accurate answers based on the official Microsoft guide content
- Reference specific sections and code examples from the guide
- Cite the guide as the source of information
Note: The guide contains comprehensive text explanations of all concepts, patterns, and implementations. Image references have been removed to optimize plugin size (reduced from 18MB to ~800KB).
