🌀 How to Enhance Microservices with Ocelot API Gateway? Caching, Load Balancing, Request Aggregation and Rate Limiting! 🚀 Introduction Hello, Netcode-Hub community! 👋 In today's lesson, we're diving deeper into the world of API Gateways with Ocelot in .NET 8. If you've been following our series on microservices, you know we've already covered creating microservices with Ocelot API Gateway, restricting all API access through the Gateway, and adding JWT authentication. Today, we're going to enhance our gateway even further by introducing caching, load balancing, rate limiting, and request aggregation. These features are essential for building scalable, efficient, and reliable microservices architectures. Let's get started! Summary 1. Caching in Ocelot: First, let's talk about caching. Imagine you have an e-commerce application, and users frequently access product details. Without caching, every request would hit your database, causing

How Secure Are Your Microservices?🔒 Add JWT Authentication to Ocelot API Gateway Today!🚀 Introduction We're diving into an essential aspect of securing our microservices architecture: adding JWT authentication to our microservices that use Ocelot as an API gateway. If you've been following along, you know we've already created our microservices and set up Ocelot to redirect all API calls seamlessly. Now, it's time to add an extra layer of security. Imagine a scenario where your microservices handle sensitive data, such as user information or financial transactions. Without proper authentication, anyone could access your services, potentially leading to data breaches and unauthorized access. This is where JWT (JSON Web Token) authentication comes in. JWTs provide a compact and secure way to transmit information between parties as a JSON object. By adding JWT authentication to our API gateway, we can ensure that only authenticated and authorized us

🔐 Is Your Microservice Secure? Learn to Restrict API Calls to Gateway Only! 🚀 | .NET 8 & Ocelot 🌟 In our previous blog  (🔗 Hassle-Free API Management: Use Ocelot for Smooth Microservice API Gateway & Simplify Your Life! 🚀🎯) , we explored how to build and configure an API Gateway using Ocelot in .NET 8 microservices. Today, we're taking it a step further by ensuring that each web API in our microservice architecture listens ONLY to the API Gateway. This means we'll configure our services to reject any API call coming from outside the gateway address and port. This setup is crucial for maintaining a secure and efficient microservice environment. Let's dive in and see why this is important and how you can implement it! Scenario Example : Imagine a scenario where you have multiple microservices handling sensitive data. Without restricting access to the API Gateway, a malicious ac

👋 Hey, Netcode-Hub Community! Are you tired of juggling multiple API endpoints in your microservices architecture? 🤹‍♂️ What if I told you there's a way to streamline your API management, enhance security, and improve performance all at once? Today, we're diving into the world of API Gateways, and specifically, we'll be using Ocelot to create and configure a powerful gateway for our .NET Web APIs! 🚀 🔍 Discoveries In this project, we'll cover: Introduction to API Gateways : Understanding what an API Gateway is and why it's essential in modern microservices architecture. Why Ocelot? : Discover why Ocelot is the go-to choice for API Gateway in .NET environments. Step-by-Step Configuration : We'll walk through the process of setting up Ocelot in a .NET Core project, including configuration and routing. Real-World Scenario : Learn through a practical scenario where we'll show how an API Gate

🎉 Welcome back, Netcode-Hub community!  We are diving into the exciting world of Docker and MongoDB! If you've been following our series, you know we've already covered how to run .NET Web API with SQLite, SQL Server, and PostgreSQL. Today, we're taking it a step further by showing you how to connect your .NET Web API to MongoDB, all within a Docker container! 🌐💻 Scenario Imagine you’re working on a project that involves handling a large amount of unstructured data—like logs, real-time analytics, or IoT data. MongoDB, a NoSQL database, is perfect for this scenario due to its flexible schema design. By running your .NET Web API connected to MongoDB in a Docker container, you ensure a consistent environment across all stages of development, testing, and production. This setup allows you to quickly spin up instances, making your development workflow much more efficient and scalable.
