.NET Microservices in Real Life

on YouTube ↗41m

" summary

A live .NET microservices stack that handles ~200k transactions/day (peaks ~100 req/s) is described, using SQL for transactional data and MongoDB for documents. It covers background workers, ETL/reporting replicas and a file antivirus-scanning pipeline that became a performance bottleneck, and explains use of load balancers, Swagger, Hangfire (instead of Quartz), tokenized keys with a custom data-protection provider, which components caused latency and how each workaround performed.
