So what does "cloud-ready" actually mean?

A “cloud ready” application is a legacy software application that has been modified to run on cloud computing infrastructure.

Whether you are looking at a modular monolith or a full-blown distributed system, building a cloud-ready, resilient application is a must.

In this workshop, we will look at the requirements for Tacky Tacos. A fictional taco business that's thriving and wishes to expand.
We'll look at all the different requirements that need to be met, starting with a code kata and how we can apply various design patterns to our way of thinking.
We'll then move on to building out a functioning, all-be-it, contrived modular monolith using .NET 8 and C#, learning as we go.

Topics we'll cover:

• Architecture and Methodology
• Modular monolith vs microservices vs SOA
• Distribution and Modularisation
• Common design patterns
• Modelling requirements
• .NET 8 application development recap
• Data
• Synchronous communication
• Asynchronous communication
• .NET Aspire
