Book DescriptionDiscover 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 forThis 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
