Section 5: Health Checks, Unit Testing, Deployment, and Diagnostics

Just as with the health of humans, so too should the health of any enterprise application be easily checkable, and in the case of any anomalies, we should be informed upfront so that we can take corrective action without resulting in any downtime. In this part, we will integrate the health check APIs with our application and also test our application to make it ready for deployment. We will then learn how to deploy our application in the modern DevOps way and also see how to monitor, diagnose, and troubleshoot an application in production.

This section contains the following chapters:

• Chapter 14, Health and Diagnostics
• Chapter 15, Testing
• Chapter 16, Deploying the Application in Azure
