Description: Learning Backend Web Development in C# by writing my first Microservice. Github repository data is pulled into my database every 10 minutes so that we can display a near realtime software portfolio on my website. In the future we will also add more data to my database so that project pages can be automatically generated (with articles and images etc) The goal was to build a scalable background microservices architecture, where I can easily write new services independently and then seamlessly plug them into my server on a Cron schedule. I spent most of this video reading documentation and learning ASP .NET Core, Hangfire, Microsoft Entity Framework, object mappers and how to best organize my services to easily extend them in the future. I have found a solution that works well for me, only requiring two lines of code to add a service to my scheduler. This is me learning through doing. Roughly 20 hours of coding went into this video. See below for technologies used in more detail.
