Building Scalable APIs with ASP.NET Core and C#

Building Scalable APIs with ASP.NET Core and C#: Design, Develop, and Deploy High-Performance Web APIs
Master the art of building enterprise-grade, scalable web APIs with Microsoft's cutting-edge framework
In today's interconnected digital ecosystem, powerful and reliable APIs form the backbone of modern applications. Whether you're building microservices, mobile app backends, or integration platforms, the demand for high-performance, scalable APIs has never been greater. "Building Scalable APIs with ASP.NET Core and C#" provides a comprehensive, practical approach to creating production-ready web APIs that can handle real-world demands.
Why This Book?
Unlike tutorials that merely scratch the surface, this definitive guide dives deep into the architectural considerations, performance optimizations, and best practices that separate amateur API implementations from professional-grade solutions. Written with both beginners and experienced developers in mind, this book bridges theory with hands-on examples, ensuring you not only understand concepts but can apply them immediately in your projects.
What You'll Learn:

• Foundational Knowledge: Understand the fundamental principles of API scalability and how ASP.NET Core is architected to support high-performance scenarios
• Project Structure & Organization: Set up your API projects using clean architecture patterns that promote maintainability and testability
• Modern Implementation Techniques: Master both traditional controller-based endpoints and the new minimal API paradigm introduced in recent ASP.NET Core versions
• Security Best Practices
• Resilient Error Handling
• Performance Optimization
• Asynchronous Programming
• Advanced Scaling Techniques
• Deployment Excellence

Each chapter builds progressively on previous concepts, walking you through the entire lifecycle of API development—from initial design to production deployment and maintenance.
Real-World Focus:
This isn't just theoretical knowledge. Throughout the book, you'll work with practical examples and realistic scenarios that mirror the challenges you'll face in production environments. You'll build a complete, scalable API solution that demonstrates enterprise-grade patterns and practices.
Who This Book Is For:

• .NET developers looking to expand their skillset into modern API development
• Backend engineers seeking to master ASP.NET Core's capabilities for building high-throughput services
• Technical architects designing scalable systems with .NET technologies
• Full-stack developers who need deeper knowledge of backend API implementations
• Experienced API developers transitioning from older .NET frameworks to ASP.NET Core

What Sets This Book Apart:
Beyond just teaching syntax, this book emphasizes the "why" behind architectural decisions. You'll gain insights into design patterns, scaling considerations, and performance optimizations that come from real-world experience. The comprehensive coverage—from fundamental concepts to advanced techniques—makes this a resource you'll reference throughout your career.
Whether you're building your first API or looking to scale existing solutions to handle millions of requests, "Building Scalable APIs with ASP.NET Core and C#" will equip you with the knowledge, techniques, and best practices to succeed. Start your journey to building faster, more reliable, and truly scalable APIs today.
Includes four valuable appendices covering ASP.NET Core middleware, configuration examples, Swagger documentation setup, and curated NuGet packages that accelerate development of production-ready APIs.
