Languages & Runtime Community Standup - .NET 8 + Containers = ๐
Containers are _the_ way to deploy applications in today's cloud-native architectures, and .NET has embraced them fully. Come chat with Rich Lander and Chet Husk about how .NET embraces containers from the Runtime all the way up through to SDK to the editors you use daily and learn new techniques for making your containerized applications the best they can be! Featuring: Rich Lander (@runfaster2000), Chet Husk (@chethusk) #docker #containers #dotnetAzure Developers - .NET Day 2023

Microservice applications are composed of small, independently versioned, and scalable customer-focused services that communicate with each other over standard protocols with well-defined interfaces. Each microservice typically encapsulates simple business logic, which you can scale out or in, test, deploy, and manage independently. Smaller teams develop a microservice based on a customer scenario and use any technologies that they want to use. This module will teach you how to build your first microservice with .NET. In this episode, you will: - Explain what microservices are. - Know how various technologies involved in microservices are and how they relate. - Build a microservice using .NET.Build your first Microservice with ASP.NET Core and Docker | #SamosaChai.NET
Microservice applications are composed of small, independently versioned, and scalable customer-focused services that communicate over standard protocols with well-defined interfaces. This session will explore the Microservices architecture, and we will write our first microservice with .NET and Docker.

Microservices applications deployed in containers make it possible to scale out apps, and respond to increased demand by deploying more container instances, and to scale back if demand is decreasing. In complex solutions of many microservices the process of deploying, updating, monitoring, and removing containers introduces challenges. This session will explore the basics of Kubernetes and deploying our first Microservice with .NET to Kubernetes.

I am going through the tutorial Module on Microsoft Learn titled "Deploy a .NET Microservice to Kubernetes" and am on the third unit located here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/training/modules/dotnet-deploy-microservices-kubernetes/3-exercise-push-to-docker-hub. I am stuck under the "Verify the Docker images by creating containers in the codespace" heading on the fourth step. It tells you to select the port for the front end and open the service in a browser. However, there were no ports here that the step seemed to suggest were already there and I had to set it up. Given that the port for the frontend service of this tutorial is 32000:8080 according to the docker-compose.yml file for this tutorial project, is this what I should put in the ports tab? If so, the service does not display in my browser when I click on the globe icon as instructed by the tutorial and all I see is an HTTP 502 message. What should I do so that I can view the service? The repository for this tutorial service is located at https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/mslearn-dotnet-cloudnative in the dotnet-kubernetes folder and I have attached images as well of the discussed configuration and error message below:
Exploring the Advanced RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) Service
In the ever-evolving landscape of AI, LLM + RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) is a typical use scenario. Retrieving accurate related chunked data from complicated docs and then improving LLM response quality becomes challenge. There is no a silver bullet RAG can address all requirements so far. Developers need to verify different advanced RAG techs to find out which is a proper one for their scenarios considering accuracy, response speed, costs, etc. In order to solve this, with Azure Intelligent Document, Azure OpenAI, LlamaIndex, LangChain, Gradio..., I developed this AdvancedRAG service. This service is encapsulated in a Docker container, offers a streamlined way to experiment with different indexing techniques, evaluate their accuracy, and optimize performance for various RAG use cases. Whether you're building a quick MVP, a proof of concept, or simply exploring different indexing strategies, this service provides a versatile playground.
Open Source Microservices Platform Now Available
Hello! I have recently published a new open source microservices platform on GitHub. It is available under the MIT permissive license and is free to use for commercial purposes. I'm asking the .NET community for some help. https://ServiceBricks.com I am currently BETA testing and I'm looking for developers and architects to help me with the final push to make it production ready. I could use another set of eyes to help shore up the last remaining bits. ServiceBricks is a powerful platform designed to streamline the development, deployment, and maintenance of distributed systems. It provides domain-driven design, event-based architecture and a wealth of features to rapidly build new microservices and application quickly. Deploy single monoliths or distributed, multi-web applications using docker or kubernetes. There are several pre-built microservices to start from to build your own application infrastructures. They are also open source and all source code is available. Please drop me a line if you would like to help! I'm looking for discussions on microservices architecture and how they are implemented in code. Thanks! Danny
