Whether you are creating cloud-native applications, infusing your apps with AI, or just getting started, Connect(); 2017 will inspire you to build the apps of the future 

Now that you can run your .NET Core apps on GCP in a supported fashion, the question becomes what’s the best way to get your apps there? In a nutshell, there are four basic methods for deploying an ASP.NET Core app to GCP, depending on your target environment:

MockHttp is a testing layer for Microsoft's HttpClient library. It allows stubbed responses to be configured for matched HTTP requests and can be used to test your application's service layer. 

var mockHttp = new MockHttpMessageHandler();

// Setup a respond for the user api (including a wildcard in the URL)
mockHttp.When("http://localhost/api/user/*")
        .Respond("application/json", "{'name' : 'Test McGee'}"); // Respond with JSON

// Inject the handler or client into your application code
var client = mockHttp.ToHttpClient();

var response = await client.GetAsync("http://localhost/api/user/1234");
// or without async: var response = client.GetAsync("http://localhost/api/user/1234").Result;

var json = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();

// No network connection required
Console.Write(json); // {'name' : 'Test McGee'}

Here is a partial list of the C# coding standards my team uses and advocates, updated by what we’ve learned in the past year. 

Voyager uses the great MediatR library to do a lot of the heavy lifting. If you’re used MediatR before, Voyager will feel familiar to you.
