2. The CQRS Pattern

• Command and Query Responsibility Segregation (CQRS) pattern
• Implementing the first command
• Implementing the viewer service
• Challenge: Implementing the CQRS pattern
• Solution: Implementing the CQRS pattern

3. Event Sourcing and Microservices

• Introduction to the Event Sourcing pattern
• Creating the event store in Azure Cosmos DB
• Creating and storing the first events
• Reading the event store through CQRS
• Challenge: Implementing event sourcing
• Solution: Implementing event sourcing

4. API Gateway

• Introducing the API Gateway pattern
• Implementing the API Gateway pattern by using Ocelot
• Challenge: Configuring additional routes in the API gateway
• Solution: Configuring additional routes in the API gateway

5. Cross-Cutting Concerns

• Health checks
• Versioning
• Centralized logging and distributed tracing
• Challenge: Implementing cross-cutting concerns
• Solution: Implementing cross-cutting concerns

6. Upgrading .NET and NuGet Packages to Their Latest Versions

• Upgrading and refactoring the microservices
