Understand API Gateways in a Cloud-Native ASP.NET Core Microservices App

Overview

Dive into a comprehensive live session on implementing API gateways in a cloud-native ASP.NET Core microservices application. Deploy an existing e-commerce app to Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), implement a Backend for Frontend (BFF) pattern using .NET, and utilize Azure Application Gateway for deployment. Learn to expose the BFF API outside the Kubernetes cluster using Application Gateway Ingress Controller and access the external Swagger client. Follow along with hands-on exercises to set up the environment, verify deployment, and implement a load balancer with Azure Application Gateway. Gain insights into API gateway concepts, Kubernetes ingress controller fundamentals, and best practices for cloud-native microservices architecture.
