eShopOnContainers | NET sample microservices and container based application | Continuous Deployment library

I am building an Azure web service using ASP.NET Core (C#, .NET 6). I have an Azure storage account. The storage account has two (2) access keys. The idea is that if the first key expires or needs to be changed, the application can seemlessly switch to the second key while operators renew the first key.

My application has a health check, and I would like to include a health check of the storage account. I took inspiration from this article: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/architecture/microservices/implement-resilient-applications/monitor-app-health#healthchecks-implementation-in-eshoponcontainers

I wrote code like this, using NuGet package AspNetCore.HealthChecks.AzureStorage:

I am currently following the tutorial for eShopOnContainers, and I decided to try to test out the GRPC functionality, similar to the project.

What I am trying to build is GRPC Client and GRPC Service, which are both hosted on docker and can talk to each other. Now, I managed to make it work, and if you look a the Startup.cs in GRPC Client, this Uri http://host.docker.internal:5104 manages to make the call and get the response.

However, the original eshopOnContainers project uses the http://basket-api:81 path, which is much nicer and in my opinion more maintainable. It also uses few more components and some configuration:

1. The GRPC Service uses the following in Startup.cs:
   app.UsePathBase("/basket-api") Original project
   and some configuration in Program.cs to listen to ports:

I am currently learning how microservices work for an application i am building for my portfolio and for a small community of people that want this specific application. I have followed a tutorial online and successfully got IdentityServer4 to authenticate an MVC Client, however, I am trying to get swagger to work alongside the API's especially if they require authentication. Each time I try to authorize swagger with IdentityServer4, I am getting invalid_scope error each time I try authenticate. I have been debugging this problem for many hours an am unable to figure out the issue. I have also used the Microsoft eShopOnContainers as an example but still no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Ill try keep the code examples short, please request any code not shown and ill do my best to respond asap. Thank you.

I can not get my docker-compose Envoy API gateway to properly forward to referenced services.

"Forwarded routes" always end up with the error:

I am trying to work with .NET 5 to update my information. So I started to review the eShopOnContainers-ServicesAndWebApps project here.

I have read its older versions (2.2 and 3.1) that is a rich sample with a lot of fantastic points. But here in .NET 5, at first glance, in Program.cs, I see a lot of methods and properties without any classes which I can't understand and make me confused. How can we have methods without class in a cs file?

First of all as for "simplified DDD/CQS pattern" I am referencing https://github.com/dotnet-architecture/eShopOnContainers example dotnet application (which is not "strict" DDD/CQRS). However I am not dotnet developer and my question is related to general design patterns / code organization.

My own case is as follows: I have "conference" domain with "conference" root aggregate and "conference_edition" aggregate. In RDBMS language conference has many editions. In this domain all "communication" with outside world is done through root aggregate "conference". So there are use cases like Conference.create(), Conference.addDraftEdition(), Conference.publishEdition() etc.

I have also "booking" domain which manages bookings for specific conference editions (people book tickets for a conference edition).

My question is related to the read model / aggregate of "conference" service (domain?). CMS of this application needs following read model for a conference (example in json for simplicity):

It's a little bit difficult to explain, I apologies for that. But I need help. I'm working on generic approach for events. All my code base on eShopOnContainers example but my handlers should return a value.

In eShopOnContainers there is just Task as a return type, so they can easy

I can see comment in each dockfile

Keep the project list and command dotnet restore identical in all Dockfiles to maximize image cache utilization

But I have confusion with,

1. it would build the fast(due to caching) but does it not take extra space in container FS.
2. And in future if I add new project in solution should I make to change every dockerfile.

Here https://github.com/dotnet-architecture/eShopOnContainers/blob/dev/src/Services/Basket/Basket.API/Dockerfile basket-api docfile have copy command on projects.

After a lot of reading and wading through finnicky solutions to this problem, it's bizarre that projects are structured in this way and yet there doesn't seem to be a straight forward way of creating it.

A brilliant example is Microsoft's eShopOnContainers project - https://github.com/dotnet-architecture/eShopOnContainers

The repository has a physical src folder, when you open the eShopOnContainers-ServicesAndWebApps.sln - the solution explorer displays the src as if it were a logical folder.

I find that the .sln also lives in a peculiar place - directly within the src folder, it's almost like this .sln has been created manually and projects added to it as necessary.

The same is the case with the Services folder and its contents, each project lives as Services/Identity/Identity.API - this full structure displays in both file explorer and solution explorer, but when I attempt to recreate this I can 1 of 2 scenarios -

1. I create the folder structure as physical folders and they do not display in the solution explorer.
2. I create the folder structure as logical/solution folders and they do not display in the file explorer.

This doesn't seem possible via the projection create GUI, I imagine this has been done by creating the projects and structure via the dotnet CLI, but I can't seem to figure it out, how is this done?
