<b>Important Note on Database Servers/Containers</b>: In this solution, the SQL databases are automatically deployed with sample data into a single SQL Server for Linux container (a single shared Docker container for SQL databases) so the whole solution can be up and running without any dependency in the cloud or server. A similar case is defined in regards Redis cache running as a container. However, in a real production environment it is recommended to have persistance (SQL Server and Redis) in HA services like Azure SQL Database, Redis as a service or any other clustering system. If you want to configure this solution like that, you'll just need to change the connection strings once you have set up the servers in the cloud or on-premises.

> In this solution's current configuration for a development environment, the SQL databases are automatically deployed with sample data into a single SQL Server for Linux container (a single shared Docker container for SQL databases) so the whole solution can be up and running without any dependency in the cloud or server. Each database could also be deployed as a single Docker container, but then you'd need more then 8GB or memory RAM in your development machine in order to be able to run 3 SQL Server Docker containers in your Docker Linux host in "Docker for Windows" or "Docker for Mac" development environments.

## Related documentation and guidance
While developing this reference application, we've been creating a reference Guide/eBook named <b>"Architecting and Developing Containerized and Microservice based .NET Applications"</b> which explains in detail how to develop this kind of architectural style (microservices, Docker containers, Domain-Driven Design for certain microservices) plus other simpler architectural styles, like monolithic that can also live as Docker containers.
