" summary

Describes building a high-load REST API implemented with .NET Core 2 and ASP.NET Core 2, using Consul and Fabio for service discovery/routing, Orleans.NET for actor-style computing, Kafka and RabbitMQ for messaging, Serilog/xMetrics/Grafana/ELK for logging and metrics. Covers making the API intuitive, scalable, fault-tolerant, attack-resistant and high-throughput, plus how they performed load testing, survived multiple DDoS attacks, and implemented Blue-Green deploys.
