Monolith vs Microservices in .NET Core

  Monolith vs Microservices in .NET Core 1. Monolithic Architecture Definition : A single, unified codebase where all modules (UI, business logic, data access) are part of one large application. Deployment : Deployed as a single unit (e.g., one .exe or .dll ). Scaling : Scales by cloning the entire application (vertical/horizontal scaling). Communication : Internal method calls (no network). Tech Stack : Typically limited to a single framework/runtime. Example in .NET Core : An ASP.NET Core MVC app with controllers, services, and EF Core all in the same project. Single database, one codebase, deployed to IIS/Kestrel. 2. Microservices Architecture Definition : A collection of small, independent services, each responsible for a specific business function. Deployment : Each service runs independently (often in Docker containers). Scaling : Scale individual services based on demand. Communication : Via APIs (REST, gRPC, message queues). ...

Keywords: cloud server and application, deploy full-stack app, cloud deployment tutorial

Deploying a full-stack web application on a cloud server might seem intimidating, but with the right guidance, it’s simpler than you think. Whether you're building with Node.js, React, or Python, this guide will help you move from development to production step-by-step.

๐Ÿš€ Step 1: Choose a Cloud Server Provider

Popular cloud hosting providers include:

For this guide, we’ll use Ubuntu 22.04 LTS on DigitalOcean Droplets.

๐Ÿ” Step 2: SSH into Your Cloud Server

ssh root@your_server_ip

Make sure you have your SSH key or password set up. You can generate a key using:

ssh-keygen

⚙️ Step 3: Install Essential Software

Update your packages and install Node.js, Git, and Nginx:


sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
sudo apt install nodejs npm git nginx -y
node -v
npm -v
  

๐Ÿ“ Step 4: Clone Your Application from GitHub


cd /var/www/
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/your-repo.git
cd your-repo
npm install
  

๐Ÿ—„️ Step 5: Set Up Your Backend (e.g., Node.js)

Run your server with:

node server.js

Or use PM2 to keep your server running in the background:

npm install -g pm2
pm2 start server.js
pm2 save
  

๐Ÿ”„ Step 6: Configure Nginx as a Reverse Proxy

Set up a config file in /etc/nginx/sites-available/yourdomain.com:


server {
  listen 80;
  server_name yourdomain.com;

  location / {
    proxy_pass http://localhost:3000;
    proxy_http_version 1.1;
    proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
    proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
    proxy_set_header Host $host;
    proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
  }
}
  

Enable the site and restart Nginx:


ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/yourdomain.com /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
nginx -t
sudo systemctl restart nginx
  

๐Ÿงช Step 7: Test Your Application

Visit your domain in a browser. You should see your front-end served and API routes working. Use browser console and DevTools to inspect issues.

๐Ÿ”’ Optional: Secure Your App with SSL

Use Let's Encrypt Certbot to add HTTPS:


sudo apt install certbot python3-certbot-nginx -y
sudo certbot --nginx -d yourdomain.com
  

๐Ÿ“ฆ Final Thoughts

Congratulations! Your full-stack web application is now live on a cloud server. Whether you’re running a MERN stack, LAMP stack, or Django app, this deployment method works across the board.
