Embrace the future of web API development with ASP.NET Core 9-from REST best practices to real-time SignalR, and from HybridCache to .NET Aspire deployment-through hands-on recipes and proven methodologies
Key Features:
- Master the lifecycle of ASP.NET Core web APIs by confidently building, testing, monitoring, and securing your applications
- Explore advanced topics like GraphQL, SignalR, and microservices to create feature-rich APIs
- Discover cloud deployment strategies to ensure your APIs are ready for modern infrastructure
- Purchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free PDF eBook
Book Description:
Discover what makes ASP.NET Core 9 a powerful and versatile framework for building modern web APIs that are both scalable and secure. This comprehensive, recipe-based guide leverages the authors' decade-long experience in software development to equip developers with the knowledge to create robust web API solutions using the framework's most powerful features.
Designed for intermediate to advanced .NET developers, this cookbook contains hands-on recipes that demonstrate how to efficiently build, optimize, and secure APIs using this cutting-edge technology. You'll master essential topics, such as creating RESTful APIs, implementing advanced data access strategies, securing your APIs, creating custom middleware, and enhancing your logging capabilities. The book goes beyond traditional API development by introducing GraphQL, SignalR, and gRPC, offering insights into how these technologies can extend the reach of your APIs. To prepare you for real-world challenges, the recipes cover testing methodologies, cloud deployment, legacy system integration, and advanced concepts like microservices and Hangfire.
By the end of this book, you'll gain the expertise needed to build and manage enterprise-grade web APIs with ASP.NET Core 9.
What You Will Learn:
- Implement HybridCache with stampede protection to replace distributed and in-memory caches
- Perform unit, integration, and contract testing to ensure robustness and reliability
- Optimize API performance using output and response caching with tag-based invalidation
- Design custom middleware for rate limiting, centralized exception handling, health checks, and more
- Streamline API troubleshooting using Serilog's structured logging and Seq's powerful log visualization for quick insights
- Secure your APIs with authentication, authorization, and HTTPS enforcement
Who this book is for:
This book is for intermediate to advanced developers-whether you're a .NET, backend, full-stack, or DevOps professional-looking to build and secure APIs with ASP.NET Core. It's also ideal for those experienced in Java or Go who want to transition to ASP.NET Core, or developers familiar with C# and .NET aiming to deepen their API skills. A working knowledge of web APIs and the .NET ecosystem is assumed, so you can jump straight into practical recipes.
