Introducing the Modern Web App (MWA) Pattern for .NET

We are pleased to introduce: Modern Web App (MWA) patterns for .NET. MWA is part of the Enterprise App Pattern (EAP), which provides guidance for accelerating app modernization to the cloud. MWA provides developer patterns, prescriptive architecture, reference implementations, and infrastructure guidance that aligns with the principles of the Azure Well-Architected Framework (WAF) and the 12-Step App Methodology, so you can be confident that the guidance is proven in practice.

The Modern Web App (MWA) pattern represents the next step in transforming monolithic web applications to cloud-native architecture. Refactoring Modernization strategy. Build on: Trusted Web App (RWA) patternThis helped the organization transition to the cloud with minimal changes. Platform change Through its approach, MWA further guides teams by encouraging them to separate and decompose key functions into microservices. This allows you to optimize high-demand areas for agility and scalability, providing dedicated resources for critical components and improving reliability and performance. Decoupling also allows for independent versioning and scaling, providing cost-effectiveness and flexibility to evolve individual app components without impacting the overall system.

Key features of modern web app patterns

Modern Web App Patterns provide detailed guidance for decoupling critical parts of a web application to enable independent scaling, increased agility, and cost optimization. This separation approach ensures that high-demand components have dedicated resources and can be versioned and scaled independently, improving the reliability and performance of applications and increasing the agility to enhance features individually. By separating services, the risk of one part of the app affecting another is minimized. Some strategies adopted by MWA include:

• Modernization through refactoring
  Built on the Reliable Web App Pattern, MWA focuses on optimizing high-demand areas of web applications by separating critical components.
• Incremental modernization using the strangler fig pattern
  Guidance for gradual refactoring from monolithic services to decoupled services to reduce risk during modernization and increase agility to new capabilities.
• Embrace cloud-native architecture
  Build independently scalable and resilient cloud-native applications by leveraging Azure services such as Azure App Services, Azure Container Apps, Azure Container Registry, Azure Service Bus, and Azure Monitor.
• Independent scaling with Azure Container Apps
  You can scale key parts of your app independently to optimize resource usage and reduce costs.
• Improved security and availability
  A hub-and-spoke architecture for production infrastructure enhances security and isolates workloads, and multi-region deployments support 99.9% business service level objectives (SLOs).

What does the reference implementation cover?

In this context, we use the evolving business requirements of the fictitious company Relecloud to describe the Modern Web App (MWA) pattern, which further improves scalability through decoupling and refactoring of monolithic line-of-business (LOB) web apps. do. This architecture enables independent scaling through high-demand microservices to support Relecloud’s growth while improving security, agility, and reliability to meet 99.9% business SLO uptime requirements.
