Milestone 7: Distributed Systems & Messaging

🌐 Milestone 7: Distributed Systems & Messaging

Orchestrate complex workflows across multiple services using asynchronous messaging. Move from “Waiting for Calls” to “Sending Signals.”

📚 Slow-Paced Deep Dives

• Module 1: MassTransit & Service Bus: Message-based communication and Sagas.
• Module 2: Apache Kafka & Streaming (The Digital Stream): Replayability and massive event throughput.
• Module 3: Quartz.NET (The Alarm Clock): Enterprise-grade job scheduling.
• Module 4: Worker Consumers (The Factory Worker): Building resilient background workers.

🥅 Milestone Goals

1. Connect services using RabbitMQ or Azure Service Bus.
2. Coordinate multi-step tasks using Sagas.
3. Implement Idempotent consumers to handle duplicate messages.
4. Schedule background jobs using Cron Expressions.
