This blog will help you choosing the right design and corresponding code, when you build microsoft web and services in 2017 and 2018.

Lists of Architectures and Implementations

Here are some lists that can be gives you several designs.

• .NET Application Architecture Guidance
  Mobile, Desktop, Web and Azure
• Azure Reference Architectures
  Big data, Web applications, N-tier applications, Virtual networks, Active Directory, VM workloads
  • eBook (2017, 333 pages): Cloud Application Architecture Guide
• .NET Architecture Guidance
  eBooks and Code

WebApps and services

This blog only looks at webapps and webservices.

Intro

Should you choose simple monolitic webs, scalable microservices or cost saving functions?
Have a look at Architecture styles below to quickly see what you get.
Read the Fowler Article Serverless Architectures to understand when you continue from microservices to serverless functions.
Follow the Design principles for Azure applications.
Follow the Azure security best practices and patterns.
Review your design with Resiliency checklist.

Architecture from real life

• Vue Storefront
  • eBook (2018, 122 pages): Microservices Architecture for eCommerce
    The book is not about Azure nor about C#. It is about architecting for cloud and PWA.

Architecture styles

The drawings below gives you a fast overview of some web patterns you can use.

• N-tier - Monolitic - The most simple - Good for PaaS
  
• Web-Queue-Worker - Good for PaaS
  
• Microservices - Good for containers
  
• CQRS - good for scaling data
  
• Event-driven - good for scaling services
  
• Serverless functions - FaaS
  

Cloud Design Patterns

Cloud Design Patterns is a long list of patterns you can use to finetune your design of SW, Infrascructure, CI/CD pipline, Monitoring and Operations.
