Harmonizing Database Operations in a .NET 5 Services Architecture

When facing the challenge of integrating the Unit of Work in a .NET 5 services architecture, applying the dependency injection pattern emerges as a clever solution. For instance, configuring each service with its own instance of the Unit of Work maintains cohesion and avoids circular dependencies. This approach provides an elegant way to handle separate database contexts, allowing independent operations in each service.




Example:

csharp

public class ServiceA

{

    private readonly IMyUnitOfWork _unitOfWork;

    public ServiceA(IMyUnitOfWork unitOfWork)

    {

        _unitOfWork = unitOfWork;

    }

    public void ExecuteOperation()

    {

        // Service A logic

        _unitOfWork.ExecuteSQL("INSERT INTO TableA VALUES (@param)", param);

    }

}

public class ServiceB

{

    private readonly IMyUnitOfWork _unitOfWork;

    public ServiceB(IMyUnitOfWork unitOfWork)

    {

        _unitOfWork = unitOfWork;

    }

    public void ExecuteOperation()

    {

        // Service B logic

        _unitOfWork.ExecuteSQL("INSERT INTO TableB VALUES (@param)", param);

        // Save changes only in the context of Service B

        _unitOfWork.SaveChanges();

    }

}

By adopting this approach, you harmonize database operations in a services architecture, enabling a smooth execution of independent business logics without compromising the consistency of the database context.
