12 Factor MicroServices

on YouTube ↗54m

" summary

Builds an ASP.NET Core app that follows the 12 Factor rules: one (mini) mono-repo with separate stateless processes, explicit NuGet/Docker dependencies, separate build and publish steps, and runtime config moved from files to Consul and Vault for secure secrets. Uses Serilog to stdout piped into Filebeat/ELK for centralized logs, deploys containers via Terraform + Fargate with nginx/HAProxy handling SSL termination, and runs one-off maintenance commands with Oakton tasks. Shows this setup working end-to-end and explains trade-offs like env vars versus Vault and caching limits.
