Who should use this guide 
We wrote this guide for developers and solution architects who are new to Docker-based application 
development and to microservices-based architecture. This guide is for you if you want to learn how 
to architect, design, and implement proof-of-concept applications with Microsoft development 
technologies (with special focus on .NET) and with Docker containers. 
You will also find this guide useful if you are a technical decision maker, such as an enterprise 
architect, who wants an architecture and technology overview before you decide on what approach to 
select for new and modern distributed applications. 
How to use this guide 
The first part of this guide introduces Docker containers, discusses how to choose between .NET 7 and 
the .NET Framework as a development framework, and provides an overview of microservices. This 
content is for architects and technical decision makers who want an overview but don’t need to focus 
on code implementation details. 

---

The second part of the guide starts with the 
Development process for Docker based applications
 
section. It focuses on the development and microservice patterns for implementing applications using 
.NET and Docker. This section will be of most interest to developers and architects who want to focus 
on code and on patterns and implementation details. 
Related microservice and container-based reference 
application: eShopOnContainers 
The eShopOnContainers application is an open-source reference app for .NET and microservices that 
is designed to be deployed using Docker containers. The application consists of multiple subsystems, 
including several e-store UI front-ends (a Web MVC app, a Web SPA, and a native mobile app). It also 
includes the back-end microservices and containers for all required server-side operations. 
The purpose of the application is to showcase architectural patterns.
